About the HPE P9M76A - HPE SN1600Q 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel HBA
Delivering 32 Gb/s per port throughput with a dual-port architecture, the HPE P9M76A eliminates storage I/O bottlenecks and offloads Fibre Channel processing from your CPU, freeing compute cycles for mission-critical applications. This 2-port Fibre Channel HBA pairs a Cavium Gen 6 (QLogic-based) ASIC controller with PCIe 3.0 x8 host connectivity, enabling sustained low-latency block storage access without taxing server resources. The SN1600Q supports auto-negotiating FC speeds of 32Gb, 16Gb, and 8Gb, ensuring backward compatibility across existing Fibre Channel fabrics. Its low-profile form factor accommodates dense server deployments, while SFP+ LC duplex optical connectors provide standard enterprise connectivity.
Storage architects, data center operations teams, and IT procurement professionals deploying HPE ProLiant servers—whether Gen9, Gen10, or Gen10 Plus models, or HPE Synergy platforms—select the P9M76A to unlock deterministic storage performance for mission-critical databases, virtualization, and real-time analytics. The adapter supports both Fibre Channel (FC-SCSI) and NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) protocols, future-proofing your SAN investment. Native compatibility with HPE 3PAR, HPE Primera, HPE Alletra, and HPE MSA storage arrays, combined with full multipath I/O (MPIO) capability, eliminates vendor lock-in concerns. Comprehensive management integration via HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), HPE iLO, and HPE OneView ensures simplified deployment and lifecycle operations across Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi environments.
