The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E (P9D94A) is a dual-port Gen 5 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter powered by the Emulex LPe31002 ASIC. Engineered for ProLiant Gen10 servers connecting to mainstream 16Gb and 8Gb SAN fabrics, it provides up to 1.6 million IOPS across two 16Gb SFP+ ports. It auto-negotiates to 16Gb, 8Gb, and 4Gb speeds and includes two certified 16Gb short wave optical transceivers. Second-hand buyers should verify dual-port transceiver operation and confirm HPE iLO firmware recognition.

About the P9D94A

P9D94A (StoreFabric SN1200E) is HPE's dual-port Gen 5 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter for ProLiant Gen10 servers, driven by the Broadcom Emulex LPe31002 controller. It provides dual-fabric redundancy and balanced multipath performance across enterprise SAN storage networks over a PCIe 3.0 x8 bus, delivering up to 1.6 million aggregate IOPS.

Compatibility

Qualified on HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, DL360 Gen10, and DL580 Gen10 servers. Installs into standard PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 x8 or x16 slots. Both ports auto-negotiate with 16Gb, 8Gb, and 4Gb Fibre Channel fabrics and connect to HPE StoreFabric SN3600B switches and HPE MSA storage arrays.

How to identify a genuine unit

The low-profile card features two side-by-side SFP+ cages and a silver aluminum passive heatsink. The HPE barcode label lists option part number P9D94A, spare part number P01525-001, and assembly number 853004-001. Operating system utilities report HPE subsystem vendor ID 103C.

Buying used

Inspect both SFP+ cages for damaged pins or loose grounding shields. Verify that both ports establish 16Gb link speed and report valid WWPNs in HPE iLO setup. Confirm that the heatsink is firmly mounted and that firmware updates execute cleanly through HPE Smart Update Manager (SUM).
