Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the primary interface modes supported by the HPE 817040-B21 transceiver? +
The HPE 817040-B21 is a versatile QSFP+ transceiver designed to provide high-density connectivity. It supports native 40GbE throughput or can be bifurcated into 4x10GbE or 4x8Gb Fibre Channel configurations. This flexibility allows data center administrators to optimize port utilization and transition between Ethernet and storage networking protocols within the same Synergy compute module infrastructure.
Which HPE Synergy hardware is compatible with the 817040-B21 module? +
This module is specifically engineered for use with HPE Synergy frames and compute modules. It is designed to interface with Synergy-compatible mezzanine cards and fabric adapters that utilize QSFP+ technology. Before deployment, always verify that your specific Synergy fabric module or interconnect module supports the QSFP+ form factor to ensure seamless hardware integration and operational stability.
Does the 817040-B21 support Fibre Channel traffic, or is it strictly for Ethernet? +
This transceiver is a multi-protocol module capable of handling both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic. Specifically, it supports 4x8Gb Fibre Channel, making it an excellent choice for converged network environments where you need to aggregate storage and data traffic over a single physical link within the HPE Synergy ecosystem.
What are the advantages of using the 817040-B21 in a converged infrastructure environment? +
Utilizing the 817040-B21 within converged infrastructure allows for significant cable consolidation and simplified fabric management. By supporting multiple speeds and protocols through a single QSFP+ port, you reduce the physical footprint in your Synergy frame while maintaining high-speed throughput. It is an ideal solution for modernizing enterprise data centers that require high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for virtualization and storage-intensive workloads.
What is the physical connector type on the 817040-B21 module? +
The 817040-B21 utilizes a standard QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface. This compact, hot-pluggable connector is the industry standard for high-speed 40GbE and multi-channel applications. It allows for quick installation and removal without disrupting the operation of the host Synergy compute module, provided your specific system management software supports hot-swapping for the port in question.
Is the HPE 817040-B21 capable of running at 10GbE speeds? +
Yes, this transceiver supports 4x10GbE speeds, allowing it to function as a breakout solution. When configured correctly within your HPE Synergy fabric, the module effectively transforms the 40Gbps QSFP+ port into four distinct 10Gbps Ethernet lanes, providing the granularity needed for connecting to multiple downstream devices or switches from a single high-bandwidth uplink.
Are there specific configuration requirements for the Synergy fabric when using this transceiver? +
Deployment requires your HPE Synergy interconnect modules to be correctly configured for the desired port speed and protocol. You should ensure that the appropriate firmware is loaded on your Synergy fabric adapters to recognize the QSFP+ module and its breakout capabilities. Proper logical configuration within the Synergy management interface is essential for the module to negotiate the correct speed and link state.
How does the performance of the 817040-B21 impact total fabric bandwidth? +
This module is designed to maximize the 40Gbps line-rate throughput provided by the HPE Synergy interconnect fabric. By utilizing high-quality optical or copper connections via the QSFP+ interface, it minimizes signal degradation and latency. This ensures that your compute modules receive the full performance benefits of the underlying fabric architecture, which is critical for high-performance computing and large-scale enterprise database applications.
