DL360 G4 FC-HBA question

jc23 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:52:13 GMT

Hey all,

I’ve been looking for a part number but cannot seem to find one, hoping you can help.

The dl360g4 has two PCI-x slots; one full length and one half length.
I need a 2GB/s or better fiber channel HBA that will fit into both of them
(So I’m assuming I need a half length FC-HBA that will also work in the full length slot)
If anyone has a part number or the name of the card I would be greatly appreciative

thanks in advance

I saw that, the cards they reference under that section are the fca 2214 and 2404. They are both full length cards. I would like to think HP has at least one half length PCI-X hba available. Why would they stick a half length slot in the server if its useless.

Try QLogic. They have a number of fiber HBA's that work fine in the DL360's:

PCI-X 133 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Single Optic QLA2340
PCI-X 133 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Dual Optic QLA2342
PCI-X 133 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Quad Optic QLA2344
PCI-X 133 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Single Optic QLA2340L
PCI-X 133 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Dual Optic QLA2342L
PCI-X 66 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Single Copper QLA2310
PCI-X 66 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Single Optic QLA2310F
PCI-X 66 MHz 64b 2-Gbps Single Optic QLA2310FL
