HP QMH2562 Mezzanine Adapter
The HP QLogic QMH2562 is an 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host bus adapter built in a mezzanine form factor. It is designed for the HP BL460c G7 blade server and connects through a PCI Express host interface to provide high-speed storage networking.
Practical limits of 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel
An 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel link tops out at that data transfer rate and cannot exceed it regardless of downstream equipment. Cable length, signal integrity and switch port speed all constrain real-world throughput within the bounds of this standard.
Mezzanine installation in a BL460c G7 blade
The module slides into the dedicated mezzanine slot inside the BL460c G7 chassis and is secured with the server's retention mechanism. Misalignment during insertion or an unseated connector are the most common causes of a link failing to come up.
