Dell Emulex LPE-12002 - Host bus adapter - PCIe 2.0 x8 low profile - 8Gb Fibre Channel x 2 - for PowerEdge R220, R320, R420, R820, R920, T320, T330, T420, T430, T630, VRTX M520, VRTX M620

Dell/EMC Emulex fiber channel host bus adapters (HBAs) offers highly integrated 8 Gb/s fiber channel connectivity solutions for enterprise, and midrange storage area networks (SANs). The LPe12002 HBA is engineered to delivers state of the art performance through the use of a sixth generation Emulex fiber channel controller. It boasts increased throughput with PCI-Express to 8 Gb/s fiber channel connection and high performance through 16 buffer credits and 1024 contexts cache.
This card is highly compatible using the same driver as Emulex PCIe HBAs and drivers. It is also compatible with previous versions of Emulex HBAs. Firmware and drivers are independently upgradeable for simplicity, ease-of-use and investment protection.
