What is the maximum number of SPS-BD 32 Port Cards that can be installed in a single SW48000 director?

The SW48000 director supports multiple SPS-BD blade modules to scale SAN capacity. Exact maximum depends on director model and power/cooling specifications. Consult HP documentation or contact your reseller for your specific SW48000 configuration to determine maximum blade capacity and total port count achievable.

Is the 411857-001 compatible with other HP SAN products?

The SPS-BD 32 Port Card is specifically designed for the StorageWorks SW48000 director. It uses standard Fibre Channel protocols, enabling interoperability with industry-standard storage arrays and servers. However, physical installation is limited to SW48000 chassis. Verify compatibility with your specific storage environment before procurement.

What are the power and cooling requirements for this blade module?

The SPS-BD blade derives power and cooling from the SW48000 director chassis. Individual blade specifications depend on director model and configuration. Contact HP support or your reseller with your SW48000 model number to obtain detailed power consumption and thermal requirements for capacity planning.

Does this refurbished card include warranty or support?

Refurbished units from Serverworlds are fully tested and professionally restored. Warranty terms vary by reseller. Contact your vendor directly regarding warranty coverage, support options, and service level agreements for the 411857-001 to ensure your requirements are met.

How does the 4Gb Fibre Channel speed compare to newer 8Gb or 16Gb options?

4Gb Fibre Channel provides 4 gigabits per second per port, suitable for many enterprise workloads. Newer 8Gb and 16Gb standards offer higher throughput but require compatible hardware. Choose based on your storage performance requirements, existing infrastructure, and budget constraints. Consult performance benchmarks for your specific applications.

Can this blade be used for SAN fabric redundancy or failover?

Yes, multiple SPS-BD blades in a SW48000 director support redundant fabric configurations. The blade's 32 ports enable logical separation of traffic for failover scenarios. Consult SW48000 documentation for specific redundancy architectures, zoning configurations, and failover procedures applicable to your deployment.
