The HP 410984-001, denoted as the FC2143 4GB PCI-X 2.0 HBA (Host Bus Adapter), represents a critical infrastructure component designed to connect HP servers with storage networks, specifically through Fibre Channel (FC) technology. This HBA facilitates a high-speed 4 Gbps connection between the server and a FC storage network, enabling rapid data access and transfer rates essential for enterprise storage systems. It is tailored for demanding environments that require robust storage capabilities, including support for boot-from-SAN (Storage Area Network) configurations, which enhances system reliability and streamlines management. The FC2143 is built for compatibility with a wide range of HP ProLiant and Integrity servers, providing a reliable solution for expanding or enhancing the storage connectivity of these systems, particularly in data-intensive operations such as database management, backup, and recovery processes.
