Dual-port 8.50 Gbit/s Fibre Channel HBA

The Lenovo LPe12002Product is a dual-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter that runs at 8.50 Gbit/s over two LC multi-mode fibre ports. It uses a low-profile MD2 form factor and connects through a PCI-X 2.0 host interface, making it suitable for enterprise, mixed-OS and virtual server environments that need scalable storage connectivity.

Check PCI-X 2.0 slot and multi-mode fibre

Before ordering, confirm the server has an available PCI-X 2.0 slot with sufficient clearance for a card measuring 2.7 inches in height and 6.6 inches in width. Verify that the storage fabric uses multi-mode optical fibre with LC connectors and supports N_Port operation at Class 2 or Class 3 service levels.

Suits legacy PCI-X servers needing dual 8 Gb FC

This adapter suits administrators maintaining older PCI-X 2.0 servers that require dual 8.50 Gbit/s Fibre Channel connectivity for SAN access. It is not for systems that only offer PCI Express slots, for fabrics that require single-mode fibre, or for deployments that need speeds beyond the 8.50 Gbit/s rate this card provides.

Questions about this item

What cables or modules come with the LPe12002Product and what must be purchased separately?

The adapter includes two LC ports for multi-mode optical fibre; compatible fibre patch cables and SFP transceivers are not supplied and must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between the single-port and dual-port versions of this HBA?

The LPe12002Product is the dual-port model providing two 8.50 Gbit/s Fibre Channel connections; choose it when you need redundant paths or twice the port density in a single low-profile MD2 slot.

What does the 8.50 Gbit/s rating mean once the card is installed in a PCI-X 2.0 server?

Each of the two ports can transfer Fibre Channel frames at up to 8.50 Gbit/s over multi-mode fibre, limited by the PCI-X 2.0 host bus bandwidth and the server's I/O subsystem.
