S4S01A is the HPE SN1620E 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Secure Host Bus Adapter, the dual-port Secure model in the Generation 7 SN1600 family of HBAs. It connects a server to a Fibre Channel SAN at 32GFC on each of its two ports and auto-negotiates down to 16 or 8 Gbps for older switch ports.
The adapter uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 connection. The media is shortwave SFP+ optics, pre-installed, with LC fiber connectors. The box includes the HBA with a standard bracket, two 32 Gbps SFP+ transceivers, a low-profile bracket and documentation. Standard shipments carry the full-height bracket, and the low-profile bracket should be kept in case the server needs it. For factory-integrated orders the SFPs are shipped separately and have to be re-inserted into the HBA.
Host operating system support covers Windows Server 2025 and 2022 x64, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x and 10.x, VMware ESXi 8.x and 9.x, and SUSE Linux 15.x. Supported servers are select HPE ProLiant, Alletra Storage Servers and Cray and Superdome systems, and array platform support is confirmed in HPE SPOCK.
Cabling uses duplex LC multi-mode fiber. HPE Premier Flex optical cables are the cables required to connect Fibre Channel HBAs to other Fibre Channel devices. The spare board for the card is P76544-001.
