Overview

The Lenovo 7ZT7A00518 is a dual-port 32Gb Fibre Channel adapter designed for high-performance server connectivity. It leverages a PCIe 3.0 interface to deliver up to 32,000 Mbit/s per port, making it suitable for demanding storage area network (SAN) environments where low latency and high throughput are critical for applications like large-scale video surveillance storage or database access. This adapter is intended for internal server installation.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. Specific compatibility should be verified against your server model's Technical Specifications or Hardware Maintenance Manual. It utilizes standard SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ cabling for connection to Fibre Channel switches.

Installation Notes

The adapter requires an available PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot within a compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem server. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F), and operating relative humidity is 10% to 95% non-condensing. Ensure proper airflow within the server chassis to maintain optimal operating conditions. The adapter's dimensions are 168 mm in depth and 69 mm in width.
