0RF146 - Dell 4GB LPE1105 Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card Host Bus Adapter

Description

The Dell 0RF146 LPE1105 is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) specifically designed to connect servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring two 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this adapter provides robust and reliable connectivity for mission-critical storage applications. The dual-port design enhances redundancy and allows for load balancing across multiple SAN fabric connections, ensuring high availability and performance for storage I/O. This HBA utilizes a mezzanine card form factor, typically designed for integration into specific Dell server models, such as the PowerEdge series. It connects to the server via a PCI Express interface, offering high bandwidth and low latency essential for demanding storage workloads. The LPE1105 supports advanced Fibre Channel features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which allows multiple logical N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, improving SAN scalability and management efficiency. Designed for enterprise environments, the Dell 0RF146 LPE1105 is built for reliability and ease of management. It supports hot-pluggable and hot-swappable capabilities, allowing for maintenance or replacement without requiring the server to be powered down, thus minimizing downtime. This makes it an ideal component for servers hosting critical applications and databases that require continuous access to storage.
