Dual 32Gb Fibre Channel adapter

The DELL 540-BDHO Qlogic QLE2772 provides two 32Gb Fibre Channel ports in a full-height bracket for rack-mount servers. It targets administrators who need high-throughput storage connectivity in supported PowerEdge platforms. The card is supplied new with firmware already updated.

Fibre Channel speed ceiling

Each port operates at up to 32Gb per second, so aggregate throughput is bounded by that link rate and the switch fabric behind it. Cable length, topology and switch port count become the practical limits once the adapter is installed. No higher-speed mode exists on this hardware.

Full-height form factor

The bracket requires a full-height PCIe slot, which excludes low-profile chassis such as the R640 or R650. Buyers with half-height only servers cannot use this card and must seek a low-profile equivalent instead.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single-port or dual-port 32Gb version for my Dell PowerEdge?

This card is the dual-port 32Gb model, providing two independent Fibre Channel links for redundancy or bandwidth aggregation.

What does 32Gb Fibre Channel throughput mean when installed in a PowerEdge R750?

Each port delivers up to 32 Gbit/s of raw Fibre Channel bandwidth, so the pair can move up to 64 Gbit/s combined when both links are active.

Which PCIe generation does the QLE2772 use and what does that cap?

The adapter plugs into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, capping total bidirectional throughput at the lane limit of that generation.
