The HPE Q0L13A is a PCIe 3.0 x8 Host Bus Adapter designed to deliver high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity to enterprise servers and storage environments. This low-profile adapter operates at 16Gb/s with automatic speed negotiation down to 8Gb and 4Gb, ensuring backward compatibility across mixed-generation infrastructure. The single SFP+ transceiver supports short-wave, multi-mode fiber connectivity, while the PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface provides the necessary bandwidth for demanding storage workloads without bottlenecking server I/O performance.
Storage architects and data center infrastructure teams select the HPE SN1200E 16Gb 1-port Fibre Channel HBA for mission-critical deployments requiring reliable, high-throughput SAN access. The Q0L13A integrates seamlessly into HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers, as well as HPE Synergy composable infrastructure platforms, and connects natively to HPE 3PAR StoreServ, HPE Primera, HPE Nimble Storage, and HPE MSA arrays. Multi-OS support spanning Windows Server 2012 R2 and later, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware vSphere ESXi makes this adapter suitable for heterogeneous environments. Management integration with HPE OneView and HPE Smart Storage Administrator enables centralized monitoring and configuration across your storage network. Both low-profile and full-height mounting brackets are included, providing flexibility for diverse server chassis designs.
Whether you're expanding SAN capacity, replacing aging Fibre Channel infrastructure, or standardizing on HPE storage connectivity, the HPE Q0L13A (part number Q0L13A) delivers enterprise-grade performance and compatibility.
