Product Identity

The HPE AJ763A is a refurbished Compaq StorageWorks dual-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter built as a plug-in card for PCI Express slots. It provides two LC optical ports operating at 8 Gbit/s over multi-mode fibre for storage area network connectivity.

Fit and Limits

This module suits administrators extending legacy 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel fabrics or replacing failed adapters in existing HPE Compaq StorageWorks environments. It does not address requirements for single-mode fibre links or for fabrics that have moved beyond the 8 Gbit/s data rate.

Deciding Specification

The card delivers two LC multi-mode ports at 8 Gbit/s through a PCI Express host interface, which determines whether it matches the target switch port speed and fibre type.

Questions about this item

Which version of the AJ763A should I choose for a server that needs two fibre links?

This module is a single dual-port card with two LC connectors, giving you both links in one PCI Express slot.

What does the 8 Gbit/s rate mean once the card is installed?

Each of the two ports can transfer data at up to 8 Gbit/s over multi-mode optical fibre when connected to a compatible switch or array.

What interface does the card use and what does that limit in practice?

The card plugs into a PCI Express slot and presents two LC fibre ports, so the bus width and generation of that slot will govern the maximum sustained throughput.
