HP Storageworks 81E 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA

This HP Storageworks 81E host bus adapter provides a single 8Gb Fibre Channel port over a PCIe interface. It is designed for servers and workstations that require direct connectivity to a Fibre Channel storage area network. The card suits IT administrators adding or replacing a single-port HBA in existing HP infrastructure.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter uses a low-profile form factor with passive cooling, so it adds no fan noise to the chassis. Power consumption remains modest for a single-port 8Gb design, drawing only what the PCIe slot supplies under typical SAN workloads. Airflow across the bracket is sufficient for normal rack or tower operation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HP 489192-001 Storageworks 81E 8Gb Single Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into an available PCIe slot, secure it with the bracket screw, then connect the fibre cable to the single port; the step often missed is installing the HP driver before attaching the cable so the host recognises the 8Gb link.

What maintenance or replacement will the HP 489192-001 Storageworks 81E 8Gb Single Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA need later?

The adapter has no moving parts or batteries; only the SFP transceiver in the single port may need replacement if the optical link degrades, otherwise the card itself requires no scheduled maintenance.
