Add-On C8S72A-AO 16Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver
Overview
The Add-On C8S72A-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP+ transceiver designed for 16Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity in Storage Area Networks (SANs). This module provides a reliable link between your SAN switch and servers, ensuring efficient data transfer for critical applications. It's engineered to meet the demands of enterprise storage environments where uptime and performance are paramount. The C8S72A-AO is a direct replacement for HP's C8S72A, offering equivalent functionality and compliance for your existing infrastructure.
Compatibility
This SFP+ transceiver is compatible with a wide range of Fibre Channel switches and host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SFP+ form factor and 16Gbps speed. It is specifically designed to be compatible with HP storage networking equipment, including but not limited to HP 16Gb Fibre Channel switches and servers utilizing the C8S72A part number. Always verify your specific switch or HBA model's compatibility list for SFP+ transceivers.
Installation Notes
Install the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on your Fibre Channel switch or HBA. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris. The transceiver is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed while the equipment is powered on, but it is best practice to consult your equipment's documentation for specific installation procedures. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged upon insertion.
