Product overview
This is the HPE BLc Emulex LPe1205 8Gb/s fibre channel mezzanine HBA, order code 456972-B21. Fabric interoperability is decided by firmware level and by the switch at the other end, not by the port speed on the box. This card is Fibre Channel. Tell us the fabric and we will confirm the supported firmware before it ships.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 456972-B21, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
WWPNs supplied ahead of delivery
Where we can, port identifiers come with the paperwork so zoning can be raised before the host is racked.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 456972-B21 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the HPE warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will 456972-B21 work in my server?
- Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it — firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
