Name: SN1610Q 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Host Bus AdapterMarketing Information: 32 Gb High-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 GFC storage area networks. Performance of up to 2 million IOPS and 12, 800 Mbps of aggregate throughput. Simultaneous support for FCP-SCSI and FC-NVMe to make transition from legacy SCSI environments to new NVMe environments seamless. Higher performance with existing server investments when compared to 16 Gb FC adapters. More data moved per watt of power consumed when compared to 16 Gb FC adapters. High Performance and Enhanced Capability for Critical Workloads and High SLA Environments HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter supports N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV), virtual machine ID (VM-ID), and industry standards-based class-specific control (CS_CTL). These provide end-to-end quality of service (QoS). Improve database transactional performance, enable faster business decisions with better data mining, and host more VMs. Port isolation design delivers deterministic and scalable performance on each port. Provides hardware root of trust to protect against malicious firmware downloads. Lower Total Cost of Ownership HPE SN1610Q 32Gb FC HBA integrates with HPE SmartSAN, HPE Smart Fabric Orchestrator, HPE B-Series, and HPE C-Series switch management platforms, reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and improves reliability.
Support for Fabric Assigned - World Wide Network (FA-WWN) and Fragment-Based Lead Discovery (F-BLD) provides fabric pre-provisioning services to simplify SAN deployment and orchestration. With support for features such as D-port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), enhanced FDMI, FC Ping, and FC Trace Route, administrators can quickly run many automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and fabric components.

The HPE SN1610Q R2E09A is a dual-port, 32 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host bus adapter with a PCIe 4.0 interface, designed for enterprise servers connecting to Fibre Channel storage area networks. It suits data center teams upgrading or building high-bandwidth SAN infrastructure.
Recommended For
- HPE ProLiant administrators connecting Gen10, Gen10 Plus, or Gen11 servers to a Fibre Channel SAN for virtualization, database, or backup workloads with high storage I/O demands.
- Storage teams upgrading an 8Gb or 16Gb Fibre Channel environment that want a 32Gb-capable HBA while retaining backward compatibility with their existing SAN infrastructure.
- Data-center teams running flash-based storage over Fibre Channel that want to use the adapter’s FC-NVMe support for storage-intensive workloads.
- Server teams that need a dual-port Fibre Channel adapter to connect a host to SAN storage through two FC links.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A virtualization administrator connects a ProLiant host to shared Fibre Channel storage so multiple virtual machines can use SAN-backed datastores; the HBA provides the host’s link to that storage fabric.
- A database or other storage-intensive server accesses data on a Fibre Channel SAN; the adapter connects it to shared storage for transaction and data-retrieval workloads.
- A server handles backup or restore jobs using SAN storage; the Fibre Channel connection gives it a path to the storage resources used by those data-transfer tasks.
- An organization upgrades a server’s SAN connection while retaining compatible 16Gb or 8Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure; the HBA can negotiate with those speeds, allowing a staged network upgrade rather than requiring every link to change at once.
- A data-center team connects the adapter’s two ports to separate Fibre Channel paths; with compatible switches and multipathing configured, the host can keep access to shared storage if one path is unavailable.
