Host Bus Adapter FUJITSU PSAS CP600E FH/LP SAS/SATA (MPN PY-SC4FAE)

FUJITSU Host Bus Adapter PSAS CP600E FH/LP SAS/SATA is a full-height/low-profile HBA designed for connecting SAS and SATA storage devices to enterprise servers and storage enclosures. It provides a host-side interface that enables direct-attached storage and disk array connectivity, facilitating increased I/O capacity and straightforward drive access in data center environments. The card supports standard server form factors and is intended for use where reliable server-to-drive communication and efficient drive management are required.

Advantages

The FUJITSU PSAS CP600E offers a compact dual-form-factor design allowing installation in both full-height and low-profile slots, reducing compatibility issues across different server chassis. It supports simultaneous SAS and SATA device connections, enabling flexible storage configurations without additional adapters. The adapter delivers a stable host interface for direct pass-through of drives or integration with software-based RAID solutions, improving manageability of attached storage and simplifying capacity expansion.

Suitable for

• Expanding internal storage on enterprise rack and tower servers
• Connecting SAS and SATA disk arrays or JBOD enclosures
• Implementing passthrough setups for host-managed RAID or software RAID
• Replacing or upgrading server HBA to restore or improve drive connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface: SAS/SATA host bus adapter compatible with standard PCI Express slots
• Form factor: supports both full-height and low-profile mounting
• Port support: external/internal SAS and SATA device connections (multi-lane serial links)
• Operating environment: designed for server and data center use with typical enterprise thermal and electrical tolerances
• Drive support: compatible with a wide range of SAS and SATA hard drives and SSDs for direct-attached storage

How to use

Install the adapter into an available compatible PCI Express slot in the server chassis, selecting the appropriate bracket for full-height or low-profile mounting. Connect SAS or SATA cables from the adapter ports to target drives or to a JBOD/enclosure following the server and enclosure manufacturer instructions. Ensure the server firmware and operating system have the necessary drivers installed or updated to enable device detection. Configure the connected devices either as direct-attached drives for host-level management or within a software RAID solution as required by your storage architecture.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the server motherboard, backplane, and enclosure before installation. Use quality SAS/SATA cables and follow proper anti-static handling. For deployments in critical systems, confirm driver support and test drive detection and throughput under expected workloads before moving to production.
