Lenovo ThinkSystem QLogic QLE2772 32Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA

Two Fibre Channel ports at 32Gb FC share one PCIe slot on the Lenovo ThinkSystem QLogic QLE2772 32Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA, part number 4XC7A08276. The controller is a Marvell QLogic QLE2772.

Dual ports are the standard SAN design for servers that must survive a link or switch failure. Each port can connect to a separate fabric, giving multipath software two independent routes to storage. A single card does this without spending a second slot, though some sites prefer two cards to protect against a card failure.

Verify the optics and cable plant used by your SAN switches before ordering. Port speed is listed at 32Gb FC, and the effective link rate depends on what your switches negotiate.

For replacements, match the controller named in the title to keep zoning, drivers and multipath configuration stable.

The 4XC7A08276 is offered new, refurbished and used. New and refurbished HBAs carry a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty. Used HBAs carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model with the request.
