The IO Accelerators (QK761A, QK762A, and QK763A) for Gen 8 BladeSystem
NOTE: The Remote Power Cut Module is used only in the AJ878B and BK836A models. Without the Remote Power Cut Module, write performance is slower.
HP PCIe IO Accelerator minimum requirements
•An open
NOTE: For PCIe IO Accelerators, using PCIe slots greater than x4 does not improve performance.
NOTE: The power cut feature is built into PCIe IO Accelerators; therefore, no Remote Power Cut Module is necessary.
•300 LFM of airflow at no greater than 50°C. To protect against thermal damage, the IO Accelerator also monitors the junction temperature of its controller. The temperature represents the internal temperature of the controller, and it is reported in
NOTE: If you experience write performance throttling due to high temperatures, see your computer documentation for details on increasing airflow, including fan speeds.
