Tips

For optimal performance, install the latest Broadcom Emulex drivers and firmware from the official support portal. Ensure your server has an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and adequate airflow. When connecting to a 32Gb Fibre Channel switch, use OM4 or better fiber optic cabling for distances beyond 100 meters. The included transceivers are validated for use with this adapter; using non-approved optics may void warranty.
