Can I connect A6795A and A5230A products to a D280?

[Carme Torca]

Hi,

I have one D280, I would like to do some test, and I would like to connect one fc target (A6794A) and one 100 FD target (A5230A). Is it possible?

Thanks a lot of!
Carmen.

Shalom,

I do not believe that one will work.

http://docs.hp.com
http://partsurfer.hp.com

Even the working FC interface will be slowed down by this incredibly out of date and slow system.

I had FC interfaces in D class boxes and they were the not that model if memory serves.

Hi,

This is not possible

D280 doesn't support PCI / PCI-X cards

[SteveB CR]

The highest speed Card you can install in your D280 is the A6684A Single port FC Tachlight HBA. This is a GSC Card, approximately the same price on the refurbished market as the A6795A.

Hope this information helps you, if you need any assistance further I'll be checking the forums all day.
