Green PCB plug-in card with one LC SFP+ port and gold PCIe x8 edge connector

HPE

HPE AJ762B 81E 8Gb 1-port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA

SKU CH-HC48-G2YSF

Single-port 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host bus adapter with PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface and multi-mode optical LC connector

  • Single-port 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel for SAN connectivity
  • PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface for server integration
  • Multi-mode optical fiber support with LC port
  • SFP+ expansion slot for flexible media options
  • RoHS 2 certified and compatible with HP Integrity and ProLiant servers

Single-port 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel adapter

This HPE 81E host bus adapter provides one 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel port for connecting HP Integrity servers to storage area networks. It uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface and an SFP+ slot for multi-mode optical fibre. The low-profile plug-in card is designed for enterprise SAN deployments.

Capacity and headroom for SAN links

The single port delivers 8 Gbit/s throughput, suitable for moderate-bandwidth storage traffic such as backup, replication and database access. Multi-mode fibre support limits link distance compared with single-mode options. Environments that need higher aggregate bandwidth or port redundancy will require additional adapters.

PCIe 2.0 x8 interface practical limits

The card operates on a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, capping host-bus bandwidth at the generation-two signalling rate. Systems limited to PCIe 1.x or x4 electrical width will reduce available throughput. Compatibility is confirmed for listed HP Integrity, ProLiant and storage arrays; other platforms should be verified before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the AJ762B 81E work in a server that only has PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface, so it fits directly into that slot type.

How can I confirm the 8 Gbit/s link is active after installing the HBA?

Check the adapter BIOS or operating system driver; both report the negotiated speed and show the single LC port as online.

Does the box include an SFP+ transceiver for the LC port, or must I order one separately?

The card provides one SFP+ expansion slot; a compatible transceiver is not included and must be purchased separately.
