Step 2 - Choose Host Adapter
Host adapters can be ordered separately to be installed in the field or they can be factory configured into controller nodes. Host adapter
cards provide the array with additional FC ports or with 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE ports. The additional FC ports can be used for connection to
hosts or used to connect to other HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems in a Remote Copy relationship. The iSCSI/FCoE ports permit host
connection in iSCSI and FCoE environments.

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 4-port 8Gb/sec Fibre Channel Adapter
QR486A
HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 2-port 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE Adapter
QR487A
Used in the Storage Base products (QR482A, QR483A, and QR485A) and the
Upgrade Node Pair (QR484A).
Because the Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include built-in FC
ports, the host adapter cards are optional.
QR486A and QR487A include one adapter card each. Adapters must be purchased
in pairs.
The QR486A includes (4) 8 Gb/s shortwave FC SFPs and the QR487A includes (2) 10
Gb/s SFPs.
Each node in a node pair (a node pair is composed of the two controller nodes in a
single 2U enclosure) must have the same number and type of adapters. FC and
iSCSI/FCoE adapters may not be intermixed in a node pair.
The 4 ports of the FC adapter can be individually configured to connect to a host or
to a remote array in an RC configuration.
The two ports of the iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be individually configured by the user
as iSCSI or FCoE.

NOTE:
If the configuration includes Remote Copy over Fibre Channel it is recommended that optional Fiber Channel HBAs are
purchased as the built in ports will not offer sufficient connectivity.
