Emulex LightPulse LPe16000B - Host bus adapter - PCIe 2.0 x8 - 16Gb Fibre Channel x 1 - for PowerEdge R620, R715, R720, R720xd, R815, R820, R910, T630
- Powerful management software for maximum data center efficiency
- Proven design, architecture and interface
The Dell PCI Express LPe16000B fiber channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) provides outstanding input/output operations per second (IOPS) performance - more than other HBAs plus lightning fast response times and better IOPS performance per watt than the previous FC generation. It is the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. It provides a simple Plug and Play application acceleration boost for existing FC SANs, and it is ideally suited for FC connectivity to a solid state disk (SSD) and multicore processor server deployments. Its advanced management functionality can shave days off installing and managing adapters. The LightPulse single-port LPe16000B features the Emulex bullet-proof driver-stack, support with backward compatibility and rock-solid reliability with a heritage that spans back to the first generation.

Powerful management software for maximum data center efficiency
Emulex HBAs are compatible with the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller with Lifecycle Controller systems management solution. iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller technology allows administrators to deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, troubleshoot and remediate Dell servers from any location, and without the use of agents. It accomplishes this regardless of operating system, hypervisor presence or state.

Proven design, architecture and interface
The Emulex LightPulse highly integrated multicore processor minimizes onboard components to improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced error-checking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the storage area network (SAN). This firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique Generation Service Level Interface (SLI) allows use of a common driver across all models of adapters provided by Emulex on a given operating system platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.
