Questions about this item
Will the 8Gb Fibre Channel Mezzanine HBA work in an older c-Class enclosure that only supports 4Gb modules?
The module negotiates down to 4Gb automatically, so it will function in a 4Gb c-Class bay while running at the lower speed.
Which indicator confirms the QMH2572 has established a healthy link after installation?
A steady green LED on the mezzanine faceplate shows an active 8Gb Fibre Channel connection; amber or blinking means the link is training or degraded.
