Dell QLE2662 dual-port Fibre Channel HBA

The Dell H8T43 QLE2662 is a dual-port host bus adapter built for Fibre Channel storage networks. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and presents two SFP+ connectors for 16Gbps links. The card targets servers that need redundant paths to a SAN fabric.

16Gbps throughput with two independent ports

Each port delivers up to 16Gbps of Fibre Channel bandwidth, giving ample headroom for database, virtualization and backup workloads. The dual-port design provides path redundancy so a single cable or switch failure does not interrupt storage access. Performance scales with the fabric; the adapter itself does not exceed the 16Gbps line rate.

PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot requirement

The card requires a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot (mechanical x8 or wider) and two compatible SFP+ transceivers, which are not included. Servers limited to x4 electrical lanes or lacking Fibre Channel driver support cannot use this adapter. Verify slot availability and operating-system compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this dual-port HBA share a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot with my older x4 RAID card?

The card needs a full PCIe 3.0 x8 slot; an x4 slot will limit bandwidth and may prevent both ports from running at 16Gbps.

How do I confirm both 16Gbps ports are linked after installing the QLE2662?

Check the adapter BIOS or OS driver utility — each port should report a 16Gbps Fibre Channel link with an SFP+ module seated.

Does the H8T43 come with SFP+ transceivers and cables or must I buy them?

The adapter ships without transceivers; you need two 16Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ modules and matching fibre patch cables.
