Emulex LPe12000 Single-Channel HBA

The Emulex LPe12000 is an 8Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI Express host bus adapter with a single channel. It connects servers to storage area networks for block-level data transfer. The LightPulse design uses a highly integrated processor to minimise onboard components and improve host efficiency. Advanced error-checking protects data integrity across the SAN fabric.

Suits single-port SAN connectivity

This adapter fits environments that need one 8Gb Fibre Channel link per server for virtualised or mixed-OS workloads. It supports firmware-based feature upgrades without hardware replacement. Buyers who need more storage connections per server should consider dual-channel or multi-port alternatives instead.

8Gb/s Fibre Channel single channel

The decisive specification is the single 8Gb/s Fibre Channel port on a PCI Express interface. This determines whether the host can attach to the SAN with one 8-gigabit link. Confirm the server has a compatible PCI Express slot and that the fabric operates at 8Gb/s before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What slot type does the Emulex LPe12000 PCI Express single-channel HBA require?

The Emulex LPe12000 is a PCI Express host bus adapter, so it installs in a standard PCIe slot on the motherboard.

What driver step is often missed when installing the Emulex LightPulse LPe12000 in a mixed-OS environment?

After seating the card, install the Emulex LightPulse driver for each operating system so the single-channel 8Gb/s Fibre Channel adapter is recognised and manageable.

What part would be replaced if the Emulex LPe12000-E firmware upgrade cannot be applied?

The Emulex LightPulse LPe12000-E uses a firmware-based architecture for feature and performance upgrades; if a firmware update fails, the host bus adapter itself would be replaced.
