HP 2GB PCI Fibre Channel Adapter

The HP A6795A is a single-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for PCI slots. It connects servers to storage area networks using optical fibre cabling. The card supports HP virtual partitions on HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i v1 and v2 environments. It is intended for administrators maintaining legacy HP server infrastructure.

Thermals noise and power

The adapter occupies a standard low-profile bracket measuring 3.5 inches by 6.6 inches with a thickness of 700 mil and weighs 3.68 oz. As a passive component without active cooling, it produces no audible noise during operation. Power draw is limited to the PCI bus supply and adds minimal thermal load to the server chassis. No external power connector is required.

Upgrade context and fit

This card replaces a failed or missing 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel adapter in systems that still run HP-UX on PCI architecture. The jump is worth it when a server needs restored connectivity to an existing switched fabric or arbitrated loop storage network. It does not serve builds requiring faster 4 Gbit/s or 8 Gbit/s links or modern PCI Express interfaces. Buyers needing multiple ports or newer operating system support should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HP A6795A 2GB PCI Fibre Channel Adapter in my server?

Power down the system, open the chassis, align the adapter with an available PCI slot, press it in until fully seated, secure the bracket screw, then connect an LC fibre patch cable to the single LC port.

What maintenance or replacement will the HP A6795A adapter need over time?

The optical LC transceiver and the patch cable are the only field-replaceable parts; keep the LC ferrule clean and swap the cable if insertion loss rises.

What throughput limit appears first when the HP A6795A runs sustained workloads?

The PCI host interface caps sustained throughput at the bus maximum, so the 2.13 Gbit/s Fibre Channel line rate cannot be fully utilised.
