The Lenovo 01CV840 is an enterprise dual-port 32Gb Gen 6 Fibre Channel host bus adapter powered by the Emulex LPe32002 ASIC. Designed for mission-critical SAN connectivity in dual-fabric high-availability environments, it delivers up to 3.2 million IOPS across two independent 32Gb SFP+ ports. It provides hardware offloading for concurrent SCSI Fibre Channel and NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) protocols. The card ships with two genuine 32Gb short wave optical transceivers. Buyers in the pre-owned market should verify port transceiver health and ensure Lenovo signed firmware is present.

About the 01CV840

01CV840 is Lenovo's dual-port Gen 6 32Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter for ThinkSystem servers, driven by the Broadcom Emulex LPe32002 controller. Engineered for dual-fabric SAN redundancy, it delivers up to 3.2 million aggregate IOPS and full line-rate 32Gb/s bandwidth per port. The adapter natively supports concurrent NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) and SCSI protocol stacks, reducing protocol latency for enterprise storage arrays.

Compatibility

Qualified across Lenovo ThinkSystem servers including SR650, SR650 V2, SR650 V3, SR630, SR630 V2, SR630 V3, SR850 V2, SR860 V2, and SR950. Plugs into standard PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 x8 or x16 slots. Ships with both low-profile and standard full-height brackets. Both ports auto-negotiate with 32Gb, 16Gb, and 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN switches and storage director blades.

How to identify a genuine unit

The card features two SFP+ ports stacked side by side on a low-profile PCB with a central aluminum heatsink covering the Emulex silicon. Lenovo label displays option part number 01CV840, FRU part number 01CV842, and feature code ATZV. In system firmware and OS diagnostics, each port advertises unique IEEE WWPN values and identifies with Lenovo subsystem vendor ID 17AA.

Buying used

Inspect both SFP+ cages for damaged internal pins or loose grounding tabs. Verify that the two included optical transceivers are authentic 32Gb SW modules. Check card detection in server UEFI to verify that both ports display valid WWPN addresses and link up at 32Gb speed without link flapping. Confirm firmware can be updated via Lenovo OneCLI.
