9105-22A-EN1B IBM PCIe3 Low Profile 32GB Dual Port Fiber Channel Adapter
9105-22A-EN1B Overview
The 9105-22A-EN1B IBM PCIe3 Low Profile 32GB Dual Port Fiber Channel Adapter is a high-performance Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for IBM Power Systems and enterprise storage area network environments. Based on the Emulex LPe32000-series HBA, it provides two independent 32Gb Fibre Channel ports through SFP+ interfaces with included SR optical transceivers. The PCIe Gen3 x8 interface can operate in either x8 or x16 PCIe slots, while automatic speed negotiation supports 8Gbps, 16Gbps, and 32Gbps connectivity. Its short, low-profile form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained server configurations, while dual-port connectivity supports high-bandwidth SAN access, storage virtualization, and redundant Fibre Channel deployments.
