Product overview
C856M is a Dell Emulex LPe12002-E 8Gb/s dual-port SFP fibre channel PCIe HBA. A card that fits the slot may still be unsupported by the array vendor's compatibility matrix, which is the document that decides support cases. We check that matrix, not just the slot.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
C856M is what is quoted and C856M is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Checked against the fabric
We confirm firmware level against the switch and the array vendor compatibility matrix before the card ships.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is C856M genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will C856M 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, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
