Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Synergy 5331C and a standard PCIe FC HBA?

The Synergy 5331C is a mezzanine HBA for Synergy compute module slots — not a standard PCIe card. It integrates with Synergy Composer for software-defined FC profile assignment, unlike PCIe HBAs which require manual per-server configuration.

Does P76653-B21 support FC-NVMe?

Yes — the Synergy 5331C supports FC-NVMe, enabling NVMe namespaces over existing FC infrastructure for HPE Primera and Alletra all-flash arrays.

Is P76653-B21 compatible with Synergy 480 Gen9?

Validated for Gen10 and Gen10 Plus. Verify mezzanine slot compatibility with HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 QuickSpecs before ordering for Gen9 deployments.
