The Dell LPE36000 Dual Port FC64 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) delivers enterprise-grade storage performance and streamlined management for data centers that demand reliable, high-speed connectivity to SAN storage. Built on Emulex technology, this dual-port 64Gbps Fibre Channel (64GFC) HBA is engineered to optimize I/O throughput, reduce latency, and scale with growing storage needs. Its low-profile PCIe form factor makes it an ideal choice for dense server environments, blade servers, and server rooms where space is at a premium yet performance cannot be compromised. With robust driver support, advanced diagnostics, and streamlined deployment capabilities, the LPE36000 is designed to shorten the time-to-value for storage networks and help IT teams meet demanding service level agreements.

  • Dual-port 64Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity provides abundant bandwidth for large databases, virtualization, and demanding SAN workloads. With two independent ports, you can multipath for high availability and improved I/O efficiency, delivering sustained performance even under heavy traffic or during failover scenarios.
  • Low-profile PCIe form factor fits into dense server chassis and blade servers, enabling efficient utilization of rack space while preserving full Enterprise-class functionality. This compact design is ideal for modern data centers that prioritize power efficiency and footprint reduction without sacrificing performance.
  • Advanced management functionality simplifies deployment and ongoing administration. Features such as remote firmware upgrades, diagnostics, and policy-based management help administrators roll out HBAs across fleets of servers faster and with fewer manual steps, shaving days off typical installation cycles.
  • Optimized IOPS per watt for contemporary storage workloads. The LPE36000 is designed to maximize efficiency, enabling higher throughput per watt while helping reduce overall energy costs in storage-centered environments. This makes it well-suited for virtualization hosts, large-scale backups, and data-intensive analytics tasks.
  • Broad OS and ecosystem compatibility supports Dell PowerEdge servers and a wide range of operating systems and virtualization platforms. Whether you deploy Windows Server, various Linux distributions, or VMware vSphere, you’ll find dependable support and proven interoperability with major storage arrays and SAN fabrics.

how to install Dell LPE36000 Dual Port FC64 Fibre Channel HBA, PCIe Low Profile

Step 1: Power down the server and disconnect all power sources. Remove the chassis cover according to the server manufacturer's guidelines to access the PCIe slots.

Step 2: Identify an available PCIe slot that supports a low-profile card and is compatible with the HBA’s form factor. Remove the slot cover if necessary to accommodate the full card length.

Step 3: Insert the LPE36000 into the PCIe slot with even, firm pressure until it seats fully and the retention mechanism engages. Ensure there are no obstructions and the card is securely seated.

Step 4: Connect the Fibre Channel fabric cables to the two ports. Route cables to storage arrays or switches, ensuring proper fiber polarity and link integrity. Confirm that cables are latched and not under tension.

Step 5: Reassemble the server chassis, reconnect power, and boot the system. Install or update the appropriate drivers and firmware for the LPE36000 from the vendor’s support portal, following the on-screen prompts.

Step 6: In the operating system, configure Fibre Channel zoning, multipath I/O (MPIO), and storage array presentation as required. Validate device recognition, perform basic I/O tests, and monitor health and performance through the built-in management tools.

Step 7: If your environment uses a management server or automation framework, push baseline configurations to standardize HBAs across your fleet for consistent performance and reliability.

Very good product for my rear trunk and backseat on my mustang. I would recommend some type of gloves due to the foil itself when placing down will cut up your hands and fingers. Overall good product for its price.

I have it under the closed cell foam. It’s great. Just as great as Killmat and all the other butyl rubber products. Let me ask you to do something: look at the people who rated it 1 and 2 stars. No reviews. No pictures. Why? They don’t want to see the most budget friendly product getting sold. That’s some weak business. Rest assured you’ll be happy with this. Why did I buy both types? Butyl rubber helps the car not be a tin can. It keeps the outside road vibrations out. Closed cell phone keeps your music in. They work best together., Kumbaya, we have unity! We can get along, even in this age in time. The closed cell foam is cheap. You’ll get it to replace the nasty cloth under your carpet. Do the knock test. It won’t help. You need this too. And truth be told, I prefer that it has no name on it. I’m not paying money so you can brand yourself on my car. Ps: these products go on and don’t come off. Don’t mess up. It’s the same for the competitors and the closed cell foam. One shot. Do it right the first time. I’m writing this review after I used up my first box and am getting more. Happy returning customer.
