About the HPE Q0L14A - HPE SN1200E 16Gb 2p FC HBA

The HPE Q0L14A SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter delivers dual-port connectivity for enterprise storage environments requiring high-speed, reliable SAN access. This PCIe Gen 3 x8 adapter is engineered to streamline data center operations for storage architects and network engineers evaluating next-generation fabric solutions.

Built on the HPE StoreFabric SN1200E platform, the Q0L14A provides 16Gb/s per port with automatic speed negotiation down to 8Gb/s and 4Gb/s, ensuring backward compatibility across heterogeneous storage networks. The adapter supports critical enterprise features including NPIV for multi-tenancy, Boot from SAN capability for diskless deployments, and FC-NVMe readiness via firmware updates. With 32Gb/s aggregate full-duplex bandwidth and a low-profile PCIe form factor, this two-port HBA integrates seamlessly into HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers as well as HPE Synergy composable infrastructure. Management integration through HPE OneView and HPE Insight Online simplifies fabric provisioning and monitoring at scale. The adapter is compatible with Windows Server, RHEL, SLES, and VMware vSphere environments, making it a versatile choice for heterogeneous deployments. HPE Single Point of Support eligibility and regulatory compliance with CE, FCC, and RoHS standards underscore its enterprise-grade positioning. IT procurement teams will appreciate the included low-profile bracket and straightforward integration into existing HPE server portfolios.
