HPE P9M76A StoreFabric SN1600Q 32Gb HBA

HPE P9D93A StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel HBA

The HPE P9D93A StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter provides a dedicated connection between compatible HPE ProLiant servers and Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). Designed for enterprise storage environments, this PCIe adapter helps businesses access shared storage for databases, virtual machines and other demanding applications.

With one 16Gb Fibre Channel port and support for 8Gb and 4Gb connections, the P9D93A offers an upgrade path for organisations maintaining existing SAN infrastructure. It is particularly useful when introducing additional servers to a Fibre Channel fabric or replacing an older supported HBA.

HPE P9D93A Technical Specifications

Important: Standard retail kit contents are based on HPE’s published specifications. Refurbished or separately supplied units may not include the transceiver, brackets or documentation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 16Gb Fibre Channel performance: Provides dedicated storage connectivity for compatible enterprise SAN environments.
• Backward-compatible speeds: Supports 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel fabrics where the connected equipment is compatible.
• Single-port design: Suitable for servers requiring one SAN connection or an additional independent HBA.
• PCIe 3.0 x8 interface: Integrates with supported server expansion slots.
• Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Recovery: Helps maintain Fibre Channel communication when buffer credits are lost.
• Virtualisation support: Supports storage connectivity for qualified virtualised server environments.

Server and SAN Compatibility

HPE documents the SN1100Q adapter family for selected ProLiant servers, including supported Gen10 and Gen10 Plus configurations. Compatibility must be verified against the exact server model, PCIe slot, firmware and operating system.

The P9D93A uses a shortwave optical connection and requires a compatible Fibre Channel switch or storage target. HPE specifies OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre for supported shortwave connections.

Before purchasing, confirm:

• The server supports the P9D93A adapter.
• The operating system has a qualified driver and firmware combination.
• The SAN switch and storage array support the intended Fibre Channel speed.
• The installation has the correct optical transceiver and LC fibre cabling.

HPE publishes interoperability information through its storage connectivity documentation. This should be checked before introducing the adapter into a production SAN.

Using P9D93A in a Fibre Channel SAN

The SN1100Q is designed for storage networking rather than general-purpose Ethernet communication. It does not provide an RJ-45 connection or operate as a standard Ethernet network interface card.

In a typical deployment, the adapter connects a ProLiant server to a Fibre Channel switch, which provides access to authorised storage volumes on a compatible SAN array.

Administrators should configure Fibre Channel zoning, storage access permissions and host multipathing according to the environment’s requirements.

Because P9D93A has only one Fibre Channel port, it does not independently provide dual-path connectivity. Environments requiring redundant paths may need additional adapters or a qualified dual-port configuration.

P9D93A vs P9D94A and Spare Part Numbers

The SN1100Q family includes different part numbers for purchasing and maintenance:

• P9D93A: SN1100Q 16Gb single-port Fibre Channel HBA option.
• P9D94A: SN1100Q 16Gb dual-port Fibre Channel HBA option.
• 853010-001: Single-port SN1100Q service component listed by HPE PartSurfer for P9D93A.
• 863010-001: Single-port SN1100Q spare referenced in selected HPE server service documentation.

Although the single-port references belong to the same adapter family, supplied accessories and replacement requirements can differ. Confirm the exact part number when ordering a spare for an existing installation.

New and Refurbished HPE P9D93A

New: New or unused P9D93A adapters may be suitable for SAN upgrades and new server deployments. HPE documents a three-year parts-exchange warranty for eligible original products, although actual coverage depends on warranty status and purchasing terms.

Refurbished: A Refurbished adapter can help businesses maintain established Fibre Channel environments at a lower acquisition cost. Confirm hardware testing, SFP+ availability, bracket type and supplier warranty before ordering.

For either condition, verify whether the supplied package includes the original optical transceiver and installation accessories.
