Single-Port 8.50 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA

The Emulex LPE12000-M8 is a single-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter that delivers 8.50 Gbps throughput over one LC connector. It targets IT administrators deploying SAN connectivity in enterprise servers and virtualised environments.

PCI Express 3.3/5 V slot with standard bracket

The card installs in a PCI Express slot that supplies either 3.3 V or 5 V signalling and ships with a standard-height bracket. One LC port connects directly to a fibre patch cable, leaving additional expansion slots free for other I/O cards.

Replaces 4 Gbps single-channel HBAs

Upgrading from a 4 Gbps single-channel adapter doubles the available fabric bandwidth for storage traffic. The jump is worthwhile when existing links saturate during backup windows or when virtual machine density increases I/O demand.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum sustained throughput of the 8.50 Gbps Fibre Channel link?

The card operates at 8.50 Gbps Fibre Channel speed over a single LC connector, which sets the throughput ceiling for sustained transfers.

How much power does the adapter draw and what voltage rails does it use?

The LPE12000-M8 runs on the PCI-Express slot and is rated for both 3.3 V and 5 V rails as shown in the specifications.

Which slot type and bracket height are required to install this host bus adapter?

It fits a standard-height PCI-Express slot and ships with a standard bracket, so a full-height chassis opening is needed.
