Product features
Enhanced connectivity
The Lenovo ThinkSystem QLogic QLE2742 offers high connectivity with two 32Gb Fiber Channel SFP+ ports, ensuring high-speed data transfer rates of up to 28.05 Gbps. This feature enables seamless integration into existing network infrastructures, providing a reliable and efficient solution for data-intensive applications.Advanced features for optimal performance
Equipped with a suite of features such as Class-specific Control (CS_CTL), Extended Message-Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X), and Fabric-Assigned port WorldWide Name (FA-WWN), the adapter enhances data integrity and network reliability. Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Link cable beacon (LCB) further ensure uninterrupted service and simplified troubleshooting.Versatile compatibility
Designed for versatility, the host bus adapter supports a wide range of Fiber Channel standards, including FC-GS-2, FC-GS-3, FC-PI-5, and more. This compatibility, combined with auto-negotiation and Transparent (N_Port ID Virtualization - NPIV) mode support, makes it an ideal choice for diverse IT environments and applications.Key selling points
- Independent function, transmit and receive buffers, an on-chip CPU, DMA channels, and a firmware image for each port enable complete port-level isolation, prevent errors and firmware crashes from propagating across all ports, and provide predictable and scalable performance across all ports
- Support forward error correction (FEC) to enhance reliability of transmission and thereby performance
- Industry-standard class-specific control (CS_CTL)-based frame prioritization Quality of Service (QoS) helps alleviate network congestion by prioritizing traffic for time-sensitive mission critical workloads for optimized performance
- T10-PI data integrity with high performance offload provides end-to-end data corruption protection
- Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance
- Fabric-assigned port worldwide name (FA-WWN) and fabric-based boot LUN discovery (F-BLD) pre-provisioning services allow servers to be quickly deployed, replaced, and moved across the SAN; the creation of zones, LUNs, and other services can be completed before the servers arrive on site
- Read diagnostic parameters (RDP) feature provides detailed port, media, and optics diagnostics to easily discover and diagnose link-related errors
- Link cable beacon (LCB) enables administrators to visually identify both ends of a physical link by flashing HBA's LEDs, simplifying identification of the connection peers within server racks without tracing the cable
- Single-pane-of-glass management across generations of QLogic FC adapters with QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC)
- Deployment flexibility and integration with third-party management tools, including the VMware vCenter and Brocade Network Advisor
