Emulex LPe12000 8Gb Single Channel HBA
The Emulex LPe12000 is a single channel PCIe Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for enterprise storage connectivity. It provides an 8Gb link for servers that require direct access to a SAN fabric. This card suits IT administrators upgrading or maintaining existing 8Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure.
Standard Bracket Installation Notes
The adapter uses a standard bracket for installation in full height PCIe slots. Verify the server has an available PCIe slot and that the operating system supports the Emulex LightPulse driver stack. The card is supplied without cables or SFP modules so these must be sourced separately. Common issues arise when the correct Fibre Channel optics are not fitted or when the HBA firmware is incompatible with the switch fabric.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 8Gb Fibre Channel link is up after installing the LPe12000?
Check the adapter LEDs; a steady green link light means the 8Gb connection is established and the host OS should show the HBA online.
Does the box include cables or SFP modules for the LPe12000?
The package contains the single-channel PCIe card with standard bracket only; Fibre Channel cables and SFP transceivers must be purchased separately.
