Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe35002 32Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA (v2)

Dual-path SAN access on a newer Emulex controller is what the Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe35002 32Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA (v2), part number 4XC7A76525, offers. It provides two ports at 32Gb FC on a Broadcom Emulex LPe35002 and installs in a PCIe slot.

Two ports let one card reach two fabrics, so multipath software can keep storage available when a link or switch drops. The v2 in the title marks a revision of the Lenovo part. When you replace a card, check which revision your server documentation names, since revised builds can come with different firmware requirements.

Confirm the optics and cabling on your SAN switches before ordering. Link rate is negotiated with the switch, which means the fabric you plug into sets the speed you actually get.

Buyers who already manage Emulex adapters benefit from the same management tools and boot settings across the fleet.

The 4XC7A76525 is offered new, refurbished and used. New and refurbished HBAs have 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used HBAs have 90 days. Send your quantity and server model to request pricing.
