Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe36002 64Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA

Sixty-four gigabit Fibre Channel is the headline of the Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe36002 64Gb 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel HBA, part number 4XC7A77485. Two ports run at 64Gb FC on a Broadcom Emulex LPe36002 controller, and the card uses a PCIe slot.

It is aimed at servers attached to fabrics that have moved to the faster generation, such as flash-heavy storage arrays where the SAN link rate can limit performance. If your switches and arrays still run at lower rates, the ports negotiate downward, but you pay for capacity you cannot use yet.

Two ports support redundant paths to two fabrics. Confirm the transceivers and cabling that your 64Gb-capable switches use before ordering.

As always with HBAs, matching the controller family keeps firmware, drivers and multipath configuration consistent with your existing fleet.

The 4XC7A77485 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished cards carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used cards carry 90 days. Send us your quantity and server model with the request and we will reply with availability.
