Lenovo Flex System FC5052 2-port 16GB Fiber Channel Adapter

Brand: Lenovo
Model Number: FS-FC5052-2-port-FCA

Scalability and Reliability

The Emulex 16GB Fiber Channel Adapter family for Lenovo Flex System enables the highest FC speed access for Flex System compute nodes to an external storage area network (SAN). These adapters are based on the proven Emulex Fiber Channel stack, and work with 16 GB Flex System Fiber Channel switch modules.

As the only 4-port HBAs for Flex System and ThinkSystem respectively, the FC5054 and LPm16004B-L provide unmatched scalability and redundancy. In addition, these two 4-port adapters have two separate ASICs with no bridge chip, so data flows directly to an independent PCIe bus for high availability without a single point of failure.

Flex System FC5052 2-port 16GB Fiber Channel Adapter

Based on the proven Emulex Fiber Channel stack, this adapter works with any of the 8GB or 16GB Flex System Fiber Channel switch modules. Can double throughput speeds for Fiber Channel traffic.

Did You Know?

You can deploy faster and manage less when you combine Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Virtual Fabric Adapters (VFAs) that are developed by Emulex. Lenovo HBAs and VFAs use the same installation and configuration process, streamlining the effort to get your system up and running, and saving you valuable time. They also use the same Fiber Channel drivers, reducing the time to qualify and manage storage connectivity. And with the Emulex OneCommand Manager, you can manage Lenovo HBAs and VFAs that are developed by Emulex through the data center from a single console.
