BladeSystem Mezzanine Adapter

The HP 662538-001 LPe1205A is an 8Gb dual-channel Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for c-Class BladeSystem enclosures. It installs in a mezzanine slot and connects each blade to a storage-area network through a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface. This card targets administrators expanding SAN connectivity in existing BladeSystem chassis.

Low-Profile Thermal Envelope

The mezzanine form factor relies on the enclosure’s shared cooling fans, so the adapter adds no independent airflow requirement. Power draw stays within the BladeSystem slot budget, and the low-profile design keeps acoustic impact negligible inside the chassis. No auxiliary power connectors are needed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 662538-001 mezzanine adapter into a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure?

Align the card with the mezzanine slot, press firmly until the connector seats fully, then secure the retention screw; the step often missed is not tightening that screw, which leaves the link unstable.

What maintenance or replacement will the Lpe1205A dual-channel adapter need over time?

The adapter has no moving parts, so routine maintenance is limited to keeping the enclosure air filters clean; replacement is only required if a port fails or firmware updates can no longer be applied.
