The HPE StoreFabric SN1600E (Q0L13A) is a single-port 32Gb Gen 6 Fibre Channel host bus adapter powered by the Emulex LPe32000 ASIC. Built for ProLiant Gen10 and Gen11 servers requiring high-speed block storage access, it delivers up to 1.6 million IOPS with hardware-accelerated NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) capabilities. The card auto-negotiates to 32Gb, 16Gb, or 8Gb speeds and includes a certified 32Gb short wave optical transceiver. Pre-owned hardware buyers should check the transceiver port condition and ensure HPE iLO recognition.

About the Q0L13A

Q0L13A (StoreFabric SN1600E 1-port) is HPE's single-port Gen 6 32Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter for ProLiant Gen10 and Gen11 rack servers, based on the Broadcom Emulex LPe32000 controller. It operates over PCIe 3.0 x8 and delivers 1.6 million IOPS with sub-microsecond latency for high-speed SAN arrays, supporting concurrent SCSI and NVMe/FC protocol handling.

Compatibility

Compatible with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, DL380 Gen11, DL360 Gen10, and DL360 Gen11 servers. Fits into any standard PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 x8 or x16 slot. Supports HPE StoreFabric SN3600B, SN6600B, and SN6700B switches and auto-negotiates to 32Gb, 16Gb, or 8Gb speeds.

How to identify a genuine unit

The card has a single SFP+ cage on a low-profile green PCB with a silver passive heatsink. The HPE barcode label lists option part number Q0L13A, spare part number 870061-001, and assembly number 853005-001. In iLO and OS diagnostics, it reports under HPE subsystem vendor ID 103C.

Buying used

Inspect the single SFP+ port cage for damage or contamination. Ensure the included 32Gb short-wave transceiver is authentic HPE hardware. Check in HPE iLO that the adapter reports its factory WWPN cleanly and that firmware updates complete without error.
