The HP 487738-001C1 is a 24-bay SAS expander card designed for enterprise storage expansion via PCI Express x8 interface. This low-profile card supports third-generation SAS (3G/3Gbps) connectivity, enabling connection of up to 24 SAS drives to a single host system. The x8 PCIe interface provides backward compatibility with x16 slots while consuming less bandwidth, making it suitable for dense storage configurations in servers with limited expansion slots. Typical applications include RAID arrays, NAS systems, and high-capacity storage appliances requiring multiple drive connectivity without dedicated HBA cards per port.
