Faster Storage Access

The Flex System FC5172 2-port 16GB FC Adapter enables high-speed access for Flex System compute nodes to connect to a Fiber Channel storage area network (SAN). This adapter is based on the proven QLogic 16GB ASIC design and works with the 8GB and 16GB Flex System Fiber Channel switches and pass-thru modules.

Flex System FC5172 2-port 16Gb Fiber Channel Adapter

Based on proven QLogic 2532 16GB ASIC design, it works with any of the 8GB or 16GB Flex System Fiber Channel switch modules. Offers low-cost SAN connectivity at 16GB speed.

Secure and Reliable Performance

  • Single QLogic ISP8324 ASIC
  • Port architecture that offers independent functionality on each port (independent CPU, isolated memory, and independent firmware image), which provides higher reliability and predictable performance.
  • Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host usage and enhances application performance.
  • Support for 16GB, 8GB, and 4GB FC devices.
  • Full hardware offload for Fiber Channel protocol.
  • Bandwidth: 16 GBps maximum at half-duplex and 32 GBps maximum at full-duplex per port.
  • Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) with 2048 N_Port IDs per port.
  • Support for FCP SCSI initiator and target operation.
  • Support for Host-to-fabric Fiber Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication.
  • Support for Fiber Channel protocol SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and Fiber Channel Internet Protocol (FCP-IP).
  • Support for point-to-point fabric connection (F-port fabric login).
  • Support for Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) public loop profile: Fiber Loop-(FL-Port)-Port Login.
  • Support for Fiber Channel services class 2 and 3.
  • Configuration and boot support in UEFI.
  • A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given operating system.
  • Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given hardware.
  • Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime.
  • Power usage: 16 W approximately.
  • RoHS 6 compliant.

Did You Know?

These QLogic adapter supports nearly twice the throughput and 2.5 times the I/O operations per second (IOPS) per port compared to 8 Gb adapters. The adapter is ideal for high bandwidth and I/O-intensive applications, such as media streaming, backup/recovery, data warehousing, OLTP, Microsoft Exchange Server, and server virtualization. Through rigorous testing carried out using the ServerProven program, you can maintain a high degree of confidence that your storage subsystem is compatible and functions reliably when using this Flex System adapter.
