IBM 00Y5629 Sanblade 8Gb HBA

The IBM 00Y5629 Sanblade is an 8Gb dual-port PCIe Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for servers that need redundant SAN connectivity. It fits a standard bracket slot and ships as the card only, making it suitable for IT teams upgrading or replacing existing Fibre Channel infrastructure.

Thermals and power draw in normal use

The adapter operates within typical PCIe slot power limits and uses a passive heatsink for cooling without an onboard fan. This silent design adds no audible noise to the server chassis and keeps thermal load low inside dense rack environments.
