Qlogic QLE2562 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

QLE2562 dual port 8 Gbit PCI Express 2.0 Host Bus Adapter

Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA) enable
data exchange over large distances and extend
your existing FUJITSU server systems by including
communication interfaces using high-speed
communication technology. All connections are
redundant and hot-pluggable.
The combination of hardware and software

exemplies the high-performance quality of

communication.
The number of system restarts is reduced thanks
to optimized software and extended error check
functions help improve the integrity of your
company’s information.

QLE2562 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The QLE2562 is a PCI Express, dual port, Fibre
Channel Host Bus Adapter. The HBA offers the next
generation 8Gb Fibre Channel technology, meeting

the business requirements of the enterprise data

center.
A wide range of supported Operating Systems and

certications for storage devices ensure a broad set

of application scenarios.
The HBA supplies unrivalled performance by
leveraging a single ASIC design and combines

a unique hardware architecture to deliver over

200,000 IOPS, a throughput of nearly 1.6 Gb/s, and
support for PCI Express x8 bus speeds.

Features & Benefits

Main Features Benefits

 Fibre Channel dual port 8Gb to PCI Express x8  Delivers enhanced security, Quality of Service (QoS), and enables

dynamic provisioning. The Adapter allows multiple logical
(virtual) connections to share the same physical port. Each logical
connection has its own resources and the ability to be managed
independently.

 Exceptional performance and data throughput of nearly 1600 MBps

(full-duplex); delivers up to 200,000 IOPS

 StarPower™ technology  The Fibre Channel HBA takes advantage of StarPower technology,

 Provides industry-standard application programming interfaces

(APIs, FC HBAs)

 Newest technology for existing 4Gb and 2Gb SANs  The Fibre Channel HBA is backward compatible with 4Gb and

 The Fibre Channel HBA provides the highest data integrity by

ensuring Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) on both the
control and data paths. He also utilizes Enhanced Hardware
Assist Firmware Tracing (EHAFT), allowing more comprehensive
debugging with standard drivers.

ensuring power efciency. The StarPower technology offers dynamic

and adaptive power management features such as power and
bandwidth optimized intelligent PCI Express link training, low-

power switching power supplies, and thermally efcient layout
requiring lower airows.

 A single common driver per operating system for three generations

of FC HBAs (8Gb, 4Gb, and 2Gb) simplies deployment. The
unied driver model (rmware embedded in the driver) eliminates
potential interoperability issues between rmware and driver

versions. The Adapter API compatibility with 4Gb products
accelerates deployment while ensuring application compatibility.

2Gb speeds. Servers with this HBA can be smoothly integrated in
existing SANs with 4Gb and also 2Gb FC speed.
