The Emulex 16Gb Gen6 FC Dual-port HBA, Lenovo feature code ATZV (option 01CV840), is based on the Emulex LPe31002 adapter. It uses the Emulex XE501 I/O controller on a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, auto-negotiates 16, 8 and 4 Gb Fibre Channel, and Lenovo rates it at up to 1.6 million IOPS.
Lenovo's comparison table sets it against the previous generations: the 16 Gb Gen 5 HBAs (81Y1655, 81Y1662) at 1.2 million IOPS and the 8 Gb HBAs (42D0485, 42D0494) on PCIe 2.0. Unlike the Gen 5 cards, the Gen 6 HBAs do not support 8 Gb SFP+ transceivers. The single-port version is 01CV830 (ATZU).
It ships with 16 Gb short-wave SFP+ optics (850 nm, LC), and Lenovo states that other transceivers are not supported. At 16 Gbps the reach is 35 m on OM2, 100 m on OM3 and 125 m on OM4. Standard and low-profile brackets are included.
Lenovo lists it for a long run of servers: System x M5 models such as the x3550 M5 and x3650 M5, first-generation ThinkSystem (SR630, SR650, SR530, SR550, SR570, SR590, ST550, SR850, SR860, SR950), V2 (SR630 V2, SR650 V2, ST650 V2, SR850 V2) and V3 (SR630 V3, SR650 V3, SR645 V3, SR665 V3). The ThinkSystem DS2200, DS4200 and DS6200 guides list it as a supported host adapter. For a newer 32 Gb SAN, the ThinkSystem LPe35002 V2, 4XC7A76525, is the 32Gb dual-port adapter.
