Description

The HPE SN1700Q 64Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter delivers double the bandwidth of 32Gb FC solutions, making it ideal for latency-sensitive SAN storage deployments in HPE ProLiant ML/DL Gen10 and Gen11 server environments. Built on Marvell QLogic technology, it supports both FCP and FC-NVMe protocols — enabling exponentially more I/O queues and concurrent commands — and includes two 64Gb SFP transceivers plus Low Profile and Full Height bracket options for flexible installation.

Beyond raw performance, the SN1700Q incorporates Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) firmware integrity protection, secure encrypted firmware downloads, and non-disruptive firmware upgrades to help organisations maintain SLAs without downtime. It is backwards compatible with 32Gb and 16Gb FC fabrics and works seamlessly with HPE Alletra, Primera, Nimble, MSA, and StoreOnce storage arrays, as well as Brocade and Cisco FC switches.

FAQs

Q: What servers is the HPE SN1700Q 64Gb 2-Port HBA compatible with?
A: The SN1700Q is compatible with HPE ProLiant ML and DL Gen10 and Gen11 servers. It connects via a PCIe 4.0 slot and is supported by HPE for use with the ProLiant Active Health System for integrated diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Q: Does the SN1700Q support FC-NVMe as well as traditional FCP storage?
A: Yes. The SN1700Q is a dual-protocol adapter supporting both FC-NVMe and FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol). FC-NVMe enables significantly more I/O queues and concurrent commands compared to FCP, making it well-suited for high-performance NVMe-based all-flash storage arrays.

Q: Is the SN1700Q backward compatible with older Fibre Channel environments?
A: Yes. The adapter is fully backward compatible with existing 32Gb and 16Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, allowing organisations to upgrade server-side connectivity without replacing their existing SAN fabric or storage arrays.

Q: What storage arrays are supported with the HPE SN1700Q?
A: The SN1700Q is compatible with a broad range of HPE storage platforms including HPE Alletra, Primera, Nimble, XP, MSA, and StoreOnce. It also works with Brocade and Cisco Fibre Channel switches, providing broad interoperability across HPE and third-party SAN environments.

Q: What security features does the SN1700Q include?
A: The SN1700Q features Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) technology, which validates firmware integrity and authenticity at boot time. It also supports secure firmware downloads with encryption key validation and non-disruptive firmware upgrades to minimise operational risk.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN1700Q (R7N87A) in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist stocking HPE server accessories including the SN1700Q HBA (R7N87A). Contact our team for pricing, availability, and volume purchasing options for Australian businesses.
