The S3Y23A is the HPE MSA 32Gb SFP+ Short Wave Fibre Channel 4-pack transceiver, the 32 Gb option added for the MSA Gen7 range. MSA Gen7 arrays ship without SFPs, and a 32Gb Fibre Channel array needs them ordered separately.
Each MSA Gen7 32 Gb Fibre Channel array can be configured with four or eight SFPs. At least one 4-pack is required, and controller host ports are best configured identically. The array has four host ports per controller and eight per array. MSA SFPs are for the MSA Gen7 16 Gb FC, 32 Gb FC and 10/25 GbE iSCSI arrays only; the 10GBase-T iSCSI and 12 Gb SAS models do not require SFP modules.
The 32Gb Fibre Channel array models are S3T79A and S3T80A (MSA 2070 LFF and SFF), S3T81A (MSA 2072), S3T83A and S3T84A (flash bundles) and S3T85A and S3T86A (TAA-compliant). The Smart Choice arrays P79245-B25, P79246-B25 and P84182-B25 already include a 4-pack of 32Gb SFPs. For 16Gb links the option is the C8R24B MSA 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ 4-pack.
Other MSA transceivers, drives and licenses, along with the arrays they pair with, are listed in the HPE storage system category of the store.
