Dual-channel Fibre Channel HBA

The Emulex LPE11002-M4 is a dual-channel PCI Express Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for enterprise storage area networks. It suits IT teams deploying multi-mode fibre infrastructure across Windows, Linux and Unix servers.

4.25 Gbps multi-mode speed

The card runs at 4.25 Gbps full-duplex with auto-negotiation down to 2.13 Gbps and 1.06 Gbps, so it matches existing 4 Gb, 2 Gb and 1 Gb fabrics without reconfiguration. Two LC connectors link each channel to multi-mode patch cables.

Standard bracket, x4 slot

A full-height bracket fits typical rackmount chassis and the x4 PCI Express edge connector seats in any compatible slot. Verify the server has an available x4 or wider slot and that the 6.6 by 2.54 inch board clears adjacent cards before ordering.

Questions about this item

What does 4.25 Gbps mean for real SAN throughput?

The card runs at 4.25 Gbps full-duplex per channel, so each port can move data in both directions at that rate simultaneously.

What does the PCI-Express interface cap in practice?

The PCI-Express x4 host bus limits total bandwidth to the slot generation fitted in the server.

Will the 6.6" x 2.54" board fit a standard bracket slot?

The card uses a standard bracket and measures 6.6" by 2.54", matching typical low-profile or full-height PCIe slots.
