DELL QLE2660L-DEL 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA network card

SKU CH-ZEJB-PH6KF MPN QLE2660L-DEL

A 16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter with a single SFP+ port for Dell servers

  • 16Gb Fibre Channel bandwidth for high-throughput SAN workloads
  • Single-port design simplifies server-to-storage connectivity
  • Dell-validated part numbers 4MNKF and TC40H ensure server compatibility
  • Low-latency host bus adapter accelerates virtualization and database tasks
  • 16Gb transfer rate supports scalable enterprise storage performance

Single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The Dell QLE2660L-DEL is a single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for Dell servers. It connects a server directly to a storage area network using an SFP+ transceiver. This card targets administrators who need dedicated bandwidth for block-level storage traffic in virtualisation clusters or large database platforms.

Upgrade from 8Gb or 4Gb Fibre Channel links

Moving to this 16Gb adapter doubles or quadruples the link rate of older 8Gb or 4Gb HBAs, reducing congestion on oversubscribed SAN fabrics. The jump is worth it when backup windows shrink, virtual-machine density rises, or latency-sensitive workloads outgrow the throughput of the previous generation.

Sustained throughput in multi-tenant environments

Under continuous load the adapter maintains line-rate 16Gb performance across the single port without throttling, keeping queue depths low for latency-critical applications. Firmware tuned for Dell platforms ensures stable operation during extended backup streams or heavy OLTP workloads where burst-only cards would falter.

Questions about this item

What server slot width does the QLE2660L-DEL require?

The QLE2660L-DEL is a low-profile card that fits a standard PCIe x8 slot in compatible Dell servers.

Which step is often missed when installing the 4MNKF adapter?

The SFP+ transceiver must be inserted and latched before the fibre cable is connected to the port.

When should the SFP+ transceiver on the TC40H be replaced?

Replace the transceiver if link errors rise or if the module fails the server's diagnostic self-test.
