HPE 829335-B21 OP101 QSFP28 X16 OPA Adapter
Overview
The HPE 829335-B21 is an Optical Path Accelerator (OPA) adapter utilizing a QSFP28 form factor for high-speed, low-latency interconnects. This adapter is critical for building dense, high-performance server and storage fabrics, particularly in environments demanding rapid data transfer between compute nodes and network infrastructure. It ensures efficient data flow for demanding applications like large-scale data analytics, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and enterprise storage solutions.
Compatibility
This adapter is designed for HPE ProLiant DL/ML servers and Synergy compute modules that support QSFP28 OPA connectivity. It is intended for use with HPE Synergy 12000 Frame, HPE BladeSystem c-Class, and HPE Apollo systems requiring high-bandwidth interconnects. Verify specific server model compatibility with your HPE representative or technical documentation.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a compatible QSFP28 slot on the host server or compute module. Ensure the server or module is powered down before installation. Handle the adapter by its edges to avoid touching the optical connectors or electronic components. Proper grounding is essential during installation to prevent electrostatic discharge. Torque specifications for any securing screws should be followed as per HPE server documentation.
