Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this Fibre Channel HBA card compatible with my Dell PowerEdge or HP ProLiant server?
Yes, this Emulex LPe11002 card is widely compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers (2950, 2900, R710, R720, and other models equipped with PCIe x4 slots or higher), HP ProLiant, as well as IBM, Lenovo, Supermicro servers, and other manufacturers. It simply requires an available PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 slot. Make sure your operating system has the appropriate drivers available for free download on the Broadcom website.
Q2: What is the difference between the speeds 1Gb/s, 2Gb/s, and 4Gb/s, and how are they selected?
The HBA LPe11002 card supports auto-negotiation of Fibre Channel link speeds. It automatically detects the maximum speed supported by the connected equipment (FC switch, SAN storage array) and establishes the connection at the optimal speed. This feature allows for full backward compatibility with existing infrastructures operating at 1Gb/s or 2Gb/s while providing maximum performance at 4Gb/s on compatible equipment.
Q3: What type of Fibre Channel cable should I use with this adapter card?
This card uses optical LC connectors and requires multimode fiber optic cables with LC duplex connectors. For optimal performance at 4Gb/s, use multimode cables 50/125μm (OM2 or higher) allowing distances up to 150 meters, or 62.5/125μm cables up to 70 meters. The included SFP transceivers FTLF8524E2GNL-EM operate at 850nm using VCSEL technology suitable for short-distance fibers.
Q4: Can I use this card to connect my server to a VMware vSphere SAN storage network?
Absolutely, this Emulex LPe11002 card is certified and widely used in VMware vSphere and ESXi environments for connecting hosts to FC SAN datastores. It natively supports advanced features such as NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization), MPIO (Multipath I/O), and FCP storage protocols allowing booting from SAN. Check the VMware HCL compatibility matrix to verify compatibility with your specific version of ESXi.
Q5: What is the power consumption of this card and does it require an external power supply?
The Emulex LPe11002 card is powered directly by the PCI Express slot of your server and does not require any additional external power supply. Its typical power consumption is around 10-12W during normal operation, making it very energy efficient. It complies with the standard PCIe 1.0a specifications and operates on a 3.3V power supply provided by the PCIe bus, ensuring universal compatibility with all standard-compliant servers.
Q6: Is the product delivered with the necessary drivers and firmware for Windows Server or Linux?
Updated drivers for Windows Server (2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022), Linux (RedHat, CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE), VMware ESXi, and other systems are available for free download from the official Broadcom (formerly Emulex) website. The card comes with pre-installed firmware, but we recommend checking for updates on the Broadcom support portal to benefit from the latest performance improvements and security patches.
Q7: Does this card support booting from a Fibre Channel SAN?
Yes, the Emulex LPe11002 card fully supports booting from SAN (Storage Area Network). It includes an optional BIOS that allows booting an operating system directly from a LUN presented via a Fibre Channel connection. This feature is particularly useful in diskless server environments or for centralizing system storage on a highly available SAN array with replication.
