DELL 403-BBLR LPe31002-M6-D 16Gb Dual Port FC HBA Low Profile

SKU CH-9308-AX35S

Dual-port 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host bus adapter with low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 form factor for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • Dual 16 Gbit/s ports deliver high-throughput storage connectivity
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface provides low-latency data paths
  • Low-profile form factor fits space-constrained Dell PowerEdge servers
  • wave LC SFP+ transceivers included for immediate fibre deployment
  • Forward Error Correction and enhanced I/O monitoring improve link reliability

Dual-port 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel HBA

This Dell LPe31002-M6-D adapter provides two 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports on a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. It is built for servers that connect to high-performance storage arrays using short-wave LC SFP+ optics. The low-profile form factor suits dense chassis where full-height cards cannot fit.

Upgrade from 8 Gbit/s single-port HBAs

Moving from an 8 Gbit/s single-port card doubles per-port bandwidth and adds a second path for redundancy or throughput scaling. The jump is worthwhile when solid-state or high-speed HDD arrays saturate the older link or when a second fabric connection is required for multipathing.

Check PCIe 3.0 x8 slot

Verify the server has an available PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot wired for x8 electrical width. Confirm the chassis accepts a low-profile bracket and that the LC SFP+ transceivers supplied match the cabling patch panel. Ensure the operating system and storage firmware support 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel operation.

Questions about this item

Does the low-profile bracket fit a Dell PowerEdge C4130 or FC430 chassis?

The card ships with a low-profile bracket and the compatibility list includes PowerEdge C4130 and FC430, so it fits those systems directly.

Which PCIe slot width is required for the PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface?

Insert the adapter into any PCIe x8 or wider slot; the common mistake is using an x4 slot which will not provide the needed lanes.

Are the LC SFP+ transceivers user-replaceable if a fibre link degrades?

Yes, the two included short-wave LC SFP+ modules can be removed and swapped with compatible 16 Gbit/s transceivers when needed.
