Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe12002-M8-L 8Gb 2-Port SFP+ PCIe Fibre Channel HBA

Eight gigabit Fibre Channel is the speed of the Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe12002-M8-L 8Gb 2-Port SFP+ PCIe Fibre Channel HBA, part number 4XC7A08221. It has two SFP+ ports at 8Gb FC and a Broadcom Emulex LPe12002 controller.

This is a long-lived SAN generation. It is mostly bought to keep older servers and storage running without a fabric refresh, where replacing an HBA with the same family is faster and safer than redesigning the SAN. If you plan a migration to faster links, a newer card is the better long-term spend.

The SFP+ cages hold pluggable transceivers, so the media and reach depend on the modules in place. Confirm whether modules are included before ordering, and match any new ones to your switches.

Two ports provide redundant paths to two fabrics when used with multipath software.

The 4XC7A08221 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished HBAs carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used HBAs carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model with your request.
