Emulex Host Bus Adapters
Installation Guide
LPe35004 HBAs have the following major features:
Multifunction PCIe Gen3 interface controller that is compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification Rev 3.0 and the
PCI Express CEM Specification Rev 3.0
Packet transfers at 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s, 8 GT/s on the PCIe link (autonegotiated with the system), x1 to x16 lane
An x16 bus slot physical PCIe connector
1.1.2 Compatibility
1.1.3 Prerequisites
For LPe35000 HBAs and LPe35002 HBAs, use PCIe Gen4-compliant or Gen3-compliant computers that have x8 or x16
lanes at up to 8 GT/s per lane.
For LPe35004 HBAs, use PCIe Gen3-compliant computers that have x16 lanes at up to 8 GT/s per lane.
1.2 LPe32000-Series HBAs and LPe31000-Series HBAs
This section describes the following FC-to-PCIe Emulex LPe32000-series HBAs and LPe31000-series HBAs:
LPe32000-series HBAs (32Gb/s, 16Gb/s, or 8Gb/s):
– LPe32000 (one port)
– LPe32002 (two ports)
LPe31000-series HBAs (16Gb/s or 8Gb/s):
– LPe31000 (one port)
– LPe31002 (two ports)
– LPe31004 (four ports)
NOTE:
It is possible to change the speed of some HBAs from 16Gb/s to 32Gb/s, or from 32Gb/s to 16Gb/s, through
hardware. Also, LPe32000-series HBAs and LPe31000-series HBAs include a Secure Firmware feature. See
Section 2.6, Special Features of LPe32000-Series and LPe31000-Series HBAs
for more information.
1.2.1 Major Features
LPe32000-series HBAs and LPe31000-series HBAs have the following major features:

Autonegotiation between 4Gb/s, 8Gb/s, or 16Gb/s (LPe31000-series HBAs) or between 8Gb/s, 16Gb/s, or 32Gb/s
(LPe32000-series HBAs) FC link speeds using factory-shipped optics
Multifunction PCIe Gen3 interface controller that is compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification Rev 3.0 and
PCI Express CEM Specification Rev 3.0
Packet transfers at 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s, and 8 GT/s on the PCIe link (autonegotiated with the system), x1 to x8 lane
