Single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The HP QLogic QLE2660 is a high-profile PCI Express 3.0 host bus adapter that provides one 16Gbps Fibre Channel port via an LC connector. It is built on the QLogic SN1000Q architecture with 1 GB of on-board memory to deliver low-latency throughput for enterprise storage area networks. The card is validated for HP ProLiant servers and maintains backward compatibility with 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel devices.

Suited for single-path SAN connections.

This adapter fits administrators who need a single 16Gbps link into an existing Fibre Channel fabric and who value QLogic NPIV and N_Port ID virtualization support for server virtualization. It does not serve environments that require two physical ports on one card for path redundancy or link aggregation, nor does it address workloads that demand a different bus interface or port count.

PCI Express 3.0 x4 bus interface

The card plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot, which is the sole electrical interface that determines whether the adapter can be installed in a given server chassis. Confirm that the target system provides a compatible x4 or larger slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot bottleneck the 16Gbps Fibre Channel port under sustained load?

The adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface which provides enough throughput for the single 16Gbps port to operate at full line rate.

How much heat and power should I expect when this card runs continuously in a server?

The high-profile plug-in card draws power from the PCIe slot and is designed for enterprise SAN environments with standard server cooling.

Which HP ProLiant servers have a compatible PCIe 3.0 x4 slot for this high-profile HBA?

The card fits any HP ProLiant server with an available PCIe 3.0 x4 or larger slot that accepts a high-profile plug-in card.
