Add-On AW538A-AO Fibre Channel LW SFP+ Transceiver
Overview
The Add-On AW538A-AO is a TAA-compliant, Long Wave (LW) SFP+ transceiver designed to provide 8Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity for compatible HP storage systems. This module is critical for extending storage area network (SAN) reach over single-mode fiber, enabling data center consolidation and remote access scenarios where distance is a factor. It ensures reliable data transfer between servers and storage arrays.
Compatibility
This AW538A-AO compatible transceiver is engineered for use with HP storage systems that support the HP AW538A module. It is suitable for environments utilizing 8GFC Fibre Channel infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration with existing SAN fabrics that require long-wave optical transceivers.
Installation Notes
Install the SFP+ module into the designated SFP+ port on the host device. Ensure the fiber optic cable is properly seated and connected to the transceiver's LC connector. The module operates over single-mode fiber (SMF) and is designed for specific distance requirements dictated by the 8Gbps Fibre Channel standard for long-wave applications. Verify the host system's firmware supports third-party transceivers if applicable.
