A full-height, half-length form factor ensures this HPE C8R39A adapter fits seamlessly into enterprise server chassis while delivering dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. The HPE SN1100E 2-Port 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA combines high-speed fabric access with backward compatibility, auto-negotiating to 8Gb/s and 4Gb/s data rates per port as needed. Built on the Emulex LPe16002 controller ASIC and interfacing via PCIe Gen 3 x8, this adapter leverages SFP+ (LC duplex) connectors and supports Point-to-Point, Fabric (switched), and Arbitrated Loop topologies. The included low-profile bracket and 0°C to 55°C operating temperature range simplify deployment in modern data centers. HPE's integrated NPIV support and Boot from SAN capability enable advanced virtualization and diskless infrastructure architectures.
Storage architects and infrastructure teams selecting the C8R39A gain proven compatibility with HPE ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 servers, plus seamless integration with HPE Insight Manager and HPE OneView management platforms. This adapter is the choice for organizations requiring reliable Fibre Channel fabric access without the footprint penalty of full-height, full-length alternatives, making it ideal for mixed SAN environments where space and performance must coexist. Firmware updates deploy directly through HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), minimizing downtime and ensuring consistency across deployments. Support for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware vSphere, and Citrix XenServer means the C8R39A integrates into diverse virtualization and operating system stacks.
Organizations ready to standardize on HPE storage networking should request a quote for the HPE C8R39A through Omnixon Global. Contact our enterprise IT hardware team in Dubai to discuss volume pricing, lead times, and compatibility verification for your current ProLiant infrastructure.
