Lenovo Flex System FC5054 4-port 16GB Fiber Channel Adapter

Brand: Lenovo
Model Number: FS-FC5054-4-port-FCA

Uninterrupted Data Flow

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 16GB 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 FC5054 4-port 16GB Fiber Channel Adapter

Works with any of the 8GB or 16GB Flex System Fiber Channel switch modules. Compared to the previous-generation 8GB adapters, the new generation 16GB adapters double throughput speeds for Fiber Channel traffic and can manage increased amounts of data.

Greater Responsiveness

  • 2-port 16GB Fiber Channel adapter
  • Single-ASIC controller using the Emulex XE201 design
  • Auto-Negotiate to 16GB, 8Gb, or 4GB
  • Up to 1.2 million IOPS on a single port (six times more IOPS than previous generation 8Gb FC HBAs)
  • Cuts response times by up to 75% and doubles the throughput compared to the previous generation 8Gb FC HBAs
  • Exceeds 10 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) with the most advanced data integrity protection (T10 PI) offload to protect against silent data corruption
  • PCIe Express 3.0 x8 host interface (5 GTps)
  • MSI-X support
  • x86 Fiber Channel common driver model with other Emulex adapters
  • Arbitrated loop (supported on 4GB and 8GB speeds only)

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.
