YH1DK Dell QLogic 2692 Dual Port 16Gbps Fibre Channel PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Host Bus Network Adapter

The YH1DK is a Dell QLogic 2692 Dual-Port 16Gbps Fibre Channel PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for high-speed, reliable Fibre Channel connectivity in enterprise environments. It is specifically built for use in Storage Area Networks (SANs), providing fast, low-latency communication between servers and storage systems.

Key Features and Specifications:

1. Dual-Port 16Gb Fibre Channel:

   • Two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports capable of speeds up to 16 Gbps per port, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity between servers and storage devices.
   • Dual ports offer redundancy and load balancing for better availability and performance.

2. PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Interface:

   • The adapter uses PCIe 3.0 x8, providing high-speed data transfer between the adapter and the server, ensuring there is no bottleneck in performance when handling large amounts of storage traffic.
   • PCIe 3.0 supports higher bandwidth and better overall throughput compared to previous generations.

3. QLogic 2692 Chipset:

   • The QLogic 2692 chipset provides excellent performance, reliability, and compatibility with various SANs.
   • Supports advanced features like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), virtualization, and quality of service (QoS) to manage and prioritize storage traffic efficiently.

4. Fibre Channel Protocol:

   • The adapter adheres to Fibre Channel standards (FC-4, FC-5), which ensures compatibility with a wide range of Fibre Channel SAN switches, storage arrays, and other devices.
   • Offers zero data loss and high availability, making it ideal for critical applications in enterprise environments.

5. Low-Latency, High-Performance Storage Connectivity:

   • Ideal for high-performance storage applications such as databases, virtualized environments, backup/restore processes, and mission-critical workloads.
   • Ensures low-latency communication between servers and storage systems, which is vital for high-demand environments.

6. Compatibility:

   • Designed for use in Dell PowerEdge servers and other servers with a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
   • Compatible with leading Fibre Channel SANs, as well as major operating systems like Windows Server, Linux, and VMware ESXi.

7. Enterprise Features:

   • Boot from SAN support, allowing servers to boot directly from a remote SAN storage device.
   • Multipathing support for failover and load balancing between storage paths, ensuring high availability.
   • Data integrity features to ensure that no data is lost during high-speed storage operations.

8. Power Efficiency:

   • The adapter is designed for low power consumption while maintaining high-performance standards, which is essential for reducing operational costs in large-scale data centers
