Hi,

it is not possible to have an 8GB connection, but 16GB.

Thanks for the quick responses. I do not see anything in quickspecs or Spock about compatibitly with 16Gb. Since this is a SPF28 port can i just use SKU # Q2P63A HPE 16Gb SFP+ SW Extended Temp Transceiver with Pull Tab?

Today the only supported SFP for FC is: Q2P62A HPE 32Gb SFP28 SW E temp 1-pack PT XCVR

The HBAs do not include SFPs; they must be ordered separately.
• SFPs must be included with the 32/64 Gb Fibre Channel host adapters.
• The Fibre Channel HBA can be ordered with either two or four SFPs.
• Only 32 Gb Fibre Channel SFPs are available at first release; 64 Gb Fibre Channel SFPs will be available at a later date.
