Q0L11A is the HPE SN1600E 32Gb Single Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter. It provides one 32GFC channel on an x8 PCIe connection and auto-negotiates 32, 16 and 8 Gbps, so it reaches older 16Gb and 8Gb switches as well as 32Gb ones. A shortwave SFP+ optic comes pre-installed in the port, and the connection is a fibre optic cable with an LC connector.
The adapter ships with a standard bracket fitted and a low-profile bracket in the box, plus one 32 Gbps SFP+ transceiver and the documentation. It carries both FCP and FC-NVMe traffic. HPE supports it on Windows Server 2022 and 2025 x64, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x and 10.x, SUSE Linux 15.x and VMware ESXi 8.x and 9.x, and the supported servers are select HPE ProLiant, Alletra Storage Servers and SuperDome servers.
Two HPE spare numbers belong with it: 869999-001 is the StoreFabric SN1600E 32Gb single port Fibre Channel host adapter, and 855071-001 is the 32Gb SFP+ short wave commercial temperature transceiver. Shortwave links run up to 100 m, and shortwave and longwave parts cannot be mixed on one connection.
The dual port version of the same adapter is Q0L12A, which also has the shortwave optic pre-installed.
