Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe32000-M2-L 32Gb 1-Port SFP+ PCIe Fibre Channel HBA

Broadcom Emulex LPe32000 silicon drives the Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex LPe32000-M2-L 32Gb 1-Port SFP+ PCIe Fibre Channel HBA, part number 7ZT7A00517. It has one SFP+ port at 32Gb FC and installs in a PCIe slot.

Emulex adapters are the choice when a SAN environment or server image is standardized on that vendor's drivers and management tools. Switching between QLogic and Emulex HBAs is possible, but it changes the driver, firmware and sometimes the boot-from-SAN settings, so most buyers match what they already run.

The SFP+ cage accepts a pluggable transceiver, so cable type and distance follow the module you fit. Ask whether a module comes with the card before assuming, and plan optics to match your SAN switches.

A single port gives one fabric path. Pair two cards or choose the two-port Emulex version where you need path redundancy.

We offer 7ZT7A00517 new and refurbished, each with a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty. No used offer is listed. Send your quantity and server model to request pricing.
