Low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 card with two SFP+ ports

Qnap

Qnap QXP-16G2FC 16Gbit/s 2-port Fibre Channel RAID controller

SKU CH-PZ91-NJ2BA MPN QXP-16G2FC

Adds two 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports via a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 card measuring 2.7 by 4.2 inches

  • Product typeConsumer Electronics
  • Two 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports for high-speed storage connectivity
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface provides ample bandwidth for dual-port throughput
  • Low-profile 2.7-inch height fits compact server chassis
  • Compact 4.2-inch width allows dense multi-card configurations

Dual-port 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel card

This PCIe 3.0 x8 controller adds two SFP+ Fibre Channel ports to a server or workstation. It targets IT teams that need to connect storage arrays or tape libraries over a dedicated 16 Gbit/s fabric. The low-profile bracket fits 2U and taller rack chassis where full-height cards cannot be installed.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

The passively cooled plug-in card relies on system airflow and produces no fan noise of its own. Typical power draw stays within the PCIe slot envelope so no auxiliary power connector is required. Low-profile dimensions of 2.7 by 4.2 inches keep the slot area clear for adjacent cards and cable routing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the QXP-16G2FC into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and what step is often missed?

Insert the low-profile card firmly into the PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and secure the bracket screw; the step often missed is attaching the low-profile bracket before installation.

What maintenance will the two SFP+ ports need over time?

The SFP+ ports require periodic cleaning with a lint-free swab and inspection for dust; replace transceivers if link errors appear on the 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel connections.
