The Lenovo 7ZT7A00520, also known as the QML2692 model, is a 16Gb Fibre Channel adapter with two ports that adds fast, reliable storage connectivity to ThinkSystem blade servers. By giving the server a direct, low latency link to a Fibre Channel SAN, it keeps workloads such as databases, virtual machines and transaction-intensive applications running smoothly even when demand spikes.
The adapter relies on Enhanced Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology and can process as many as 1.3 million input output operations per second. Separate buffers for transmit and receive activity allow reads and writes to move in parallel, so the data path stays open and packet loss is kept to a minimum. Built in CS_CTL based frame control lets administrators tag and prioritize critical traffic, which is helpful in environments that combine different workload types on one storage fabric.
Because it follows industry standard Fibre Channel protocols, the card integrates easily with existing 16Gb or 8Gb switches and storage arrays. Dual ports enable path redundancy for high availability configurations or double the available bandwidth in environments that use load balancing. Installation is straightforward inside a ThinkSystem blade chassis, and no proprietary cabling is required beyond the standard Fibre Channel optics already in place.
IT teams that run enterprise data centers, cloud hosting platforms or high performance computing clusters will appreciate the consistent throughput and predictable latency this adapter delivers. It handles modern SSD based arrays with ease yet remains fully compatible with legacy Fibre Channel devices, giving organizations a clear upgrade path without forcing a wholesale infrastructure change.
Highlights:- Two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports for fast connectivity and optional path redundancy
- Up to 1.3 million IOPS to keep demanding workloads responsive
- Enhanced Gen 5 Fibre Channel design with CS_CTL based traffic management
- Independent transmit and receive buffers support continuous data flow
- Optimized for Lenovo ThinkSystem blade servers and compatible with standard Fibre Channel fabrics
