How to Install Lenovo ThinkSystem QLogic QLE2772 32Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter
- Prepare the server: Power down the ThinkSystem server, disconnect power, and follow proper anti-static precautions before handling components.
- Choose an appropriate PCIe slot: Locate an available PCIe slot that matches the adapter’s interface requirements (typically a PCIe x8 or larger slot) and ensure there is adequate clearance for the card and cables.
- Insert the adapter: Gently seat the QLE2772 into the selected PCIe slot until firmly seated, then fasten the bracket screw to secure the card to the chassis.
- Connect the Fibre Channel fabric: Attach the Fibre Channel cables to the two FC connectors on the adapter, ensuring proper alignment and secure attachment to the SAN fabric switches or HBAs in your environment.
- Power up and configure: Reconnect power and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify the PCIe device is detected, then boot into the operating system and install the latest QLogic drivers and management utilities recommended by Lenovo. Configure multipathing, zoning, and fabric login as required by your SAN design.
- Firmware and management: Update the adapter firmware to the recommended version for your ThinkSystem environment and install any vendor management tools to monitor health, performance, and alerts. Validate storage connectivity by performing a SAN I/O test and ensuring that multipath paths are functioning correctly.
- Operational verification: Confirm that the two 32Gbps ports are active, verify link status with SAN switches, and run a baseline performance test to establish expected throughput and latency for your workloads.

Perfect earring tree
Color: Bronze
I was so tired of fumbling through a handful of tangled earrings in my jewelery box every morning - went looking for something to organize them and found this lovely tree. Since I am a admirer of all things bird, the design appealed to me. I was a bit worried it might be too garish, but was pleasantly surprised. The burnished copper-like finish is quite nice, and the embossed designs on the trunk and leaves give it a three-dimensional look. The nest is sturdy and holds my rings and bracelets, and I could hang necklaces from the branches (but I have another place for those.) I was worried it would be too large for my counter top - it is 17" tall x 15" wide - but it works well as a decorative piece. The sturdy base (7"x3") provides stability. Lots of holes for earrings and works just as well for dangles as for posts. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase. It came in a sturdy box and only one leaf was slightly crimped, which was easy to gently bend back into shape. And best of all - no more tangled mess of wires and hoops to sort out each morning!

Great earring tree!I
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I like this earring tree more than I’d expected to! It holds a lot of earrings, is very sturdy and stable, and cute. It also has a little nest basket where you can put items like bracelets and rings. I love that I can see my earring options, and find the ones that best go with my outfit when getting ready for work in the morning. I’m glad it’s metal, almost a work of art, vs cheap plastic. It’s a pleasure to look at, not just functionally useful.

Exactly what I wanted!
It is really exactly what I was looking for. I've been living with my jewelry in ziplock bags since we moved over here and everything fits perfect. I saw some reviews that claimed it was unstable but I tested it and it seems sturdy though I'm not hanging heavy pieces. It is a nice size and I love the little ring basket. It also feels pretty decent quality too. Glad I got the black one as I'm not sure where I have it that the copper/bronze would look right. I think it is elegant, practical and I wish I could post a photo with my pieces on it to show that it really holds things beautifully.

Looks great by my bed!
Even my boyfriend keeps commenting how much he likes it. It's a usable piece of art!
I will comment that the earring holes can be a little tricky since the leaves are turned all different ways. You have to be strategic with how you line up your long/dangle-y earrings with your studs so everybody fits and can be seen. A little tricky. But not a deal breaker - especially when it's so easy on the eye.
The other slight negative is that this really isn't the best necklace holder. I would have thought, "No problem!" But it's a bit awkward. Especially if you actually intend to see all your earrings. You'll end up hanging most of your necklaces from the top most branch - but they slide down into the crevice to stay. Then you've got a lot of overlapping. And trickiness to retrieve the exact necklace you want with ease.
However, this is still a fabulous earring tree. I can't say enough good things about it. Love the little basket for miscellaneous. Hair bands, lip gloss, etc.

Beautiful jewelry display
Color: Bronze-Tone
A few rough edges, but all in all well made and attractive. Holds lots of earrings and I can drape my necklaces on the tree. There's a nice bowl for bracelets and a nice tray that forms the base.
