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 or higher slots), HP ProLiant, as well as IBM, Lenovo, Supermicro, and other manufacturers' servers. It simply requires an available PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 slot. Make sure your operating system has the appropriate drivers, which can be downloaded for free from the Broadcom website.
Q2: What is the difference between 1Gb/s, 2Gb/s, and 4Gb/s speeds, and how are they selected?
The LPe11002 HBA 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 full backward compatibility with existing infrastructures running at 1Gb/s or 2Gb/s while offering 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 LC optical connectors and requires multimode fiber optic cables with duplex LC connectors. For optimal performance at 4Gb/s, use 50/125μm multimode cables (OM2 or higher) allowing distances up to 150 meters, or 62.5/125μm cables up to 70 meters. The included FTLF8524E2GNL-EM SFP transceivers 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 like NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization), MPIO (Multipath I/O), and FCP storage protocols allowing boot from SAN. Check the VMware HCL compatibility matrix to verify compatibility with your specific ESXi version.
Q5: What is the power consumption of this card and does it require external power?
The Emulex LPe11002 card is powered directly by your server’s PCI Express slot and does not require any additional external power. Its typical power consumption is about 10-12W during normal operation, making it very energy efficient. It complies with the standard PCIe 1.0a specifications and operates on 3.3V power supplied by the PCIe bus, ensuring universal compatibility with all standards-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 website (formerly Emulex). The card comes with pre-installed firmware, but we recommend checking the Broadcom support portal for updates 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 especially useful in diskless server environments or to centralize system storage on a highly available SAN array with replication.
