Dell Emulex LPe31002-M6-D Features
Dual-Port 16Gb Fibre Channel
The LPe31002-M6-D provides two Fibre Channel ports with support for up to 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. The ports can automatically negotiate to 16GFC, 8GFC, or 4GFC depending on the connected SAN infrastructure.
PCIe 3.0 x8 Interface
The HBA uses a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface, providing high-bandwidth connectivity between the Dell PowerEdge server and the Fibre Channel SAN environment.
Enterprise SAN Connectivity
The adapter is designed for Fibre Channel storage networking, allowing compatible servers to connect to SAN switches, storage arrays, and enterprise Fibre Channel fabrics.
Emulex Gen6 Architecture
The LPe31002-M6-D belongs to the Emulex LPe31000/32000 Fibre Channel HBA family. Dell and Broadcom documentation identify the LPe31002 as the dual-port 16GFC model with support for 16GFC, 8GFC, and 4GFC speeds.
Full-Height and Low-Profile Options
Dell documentation lists the LPe31002-M6-D in both full-height and low-profile configurations. The exact Dell part number should therefore be checked against the server chassis and required bracket before purchase.
Applications
- Dell PowerEdge SAN connectivity
- Fibre Channel storage area networks
- Enterprise storage arrays
- Data center SAN infrastructure
- Virtualization environments
- Database servers using SAN storage
- High-performance storage networking
- Fibre Channel HBA replacement and upgrades
Compatibility
Dell documentation lists the Emulex LPe31002-M6-D as a supported Fibre Channel adapter for compatible PowerEdge servers. Dell deployment documentation identifies both full-height and low-profile versions.
Depending on the exact Dell part-number variant, compatible PowerEdge platforms include systems such as the R530, R630, R730, R730xd, R830, R840, R940xa, R740, R740xd, R640, R540 and other supported configurations. The exact compatibility should be verified against the server model, PCIe slot, bracket, firmware, and SAN configuration.
