A dual-port 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel mezzanine card for HPE c-Class blade servers

  • ColorGreen
  • TypeBracket
  • Dual-port Fibre Channel connectivity for c-Class blades
  • 4 Gbit/s data transfer with multi-mode fibre support
  • PCI Express host interface for server integration
  • Qualified across all c-Class blade servers
  • Optimised for HP StorageWorks and third-party SANs

Dual-Port 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The HPE QMH2462 is a dual-port 4Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter in a PCI Express mezzanine form factor. It is designed specifically for HPE c-Class BladeSystem server blades and supports Windows and Linux operating systems. The card is qualified for all c-Class blade servers and optimised for HPE StorageWorks environments.

Two Ports at 4 2 1 Gbit/s

The adapter provides two Fibre Channel ports operating at 4 Gbit/s, with backward compatibility at 2 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. This bandwidth suits moderate SAN workloads such as backup, replication and access to shared storage arrays. Demanding databases or high-throughput video workloads will exceed the 4 Gbit/s ceiling and require faster adapters.

Mezzanine Mount with Multi-Mode Optics

The green PCB card measures 4.5 inches by 4 inches and fits the dedicated mezzanine slot inside supported blade servers. Multi-mode optical fibre is the supported media type, so connections use standard short-wave SFP transceivers. The fixed mezzanine mounting means the card cannot be moved to rack or tower servers with standard PCIe slots.

Questions about this item

Will the QMH2462 4Gb FC HBA fit alongside existing mezzanine cards in my c-Class blade server?

The card uses the standard PCI Express mezzanine form factor measuring 4.5 inches by 4 inches, matching the blade slot dimensions used across the c-Class BladeSystem line.

How can I verify the dual-port 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel adapter is operating correctly after installation?

Check the link LEDs on each optical port for a steady green light and confirm the host OS detects two 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports at the expected speeds.

Does the HPE QMH2462 mezzanine card ship with SFP+ transceivers and cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The card itself is supplied as the mezzanine bracket assembly; multi-mode optical transceivers and fibre patch cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
