Emulex 4Gb Fibre Channel Mezzanine (403621-B21) on HP Integrity blade servers

The Emulex LPe1105-HP 4Gb Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card for HP c-Class BladeSystem (Product

Number 403621-B21) has been shipping on HP Proliant c-Class blades for some time. The cards

have been modified to be compatible with HP Integrity c-Class blades, yet they maintain their

compatibility with Proliant c-Class blades.

The new card versions are sold using the same product number as the previous versions; that

is, 403621-B21, but with a new Engineering Date Code to identify the new cards as being

compatible with HP Integrity BladeSystems.

It is not possible to update previous recipes/versions of the Mezzanine card to be compatible

with the HP Integrity blades.

Identification

The following are the ways to identify the versions of the cards that are compatible with Integrity

c-Class blades.

EDC change

The newer cards are built with an Engineering Date Code that marks the changes required for

Integrity — Integrity-supported versions have an EDC of B-4813 or later.

The EDC code is printed on a label on the box containing the card, on a label on the card, and is

included in the Vital Products Data (VPD) that is flashed into the card during the manufacture

of the part. This means that you will be able to identify a version of the card supported on Integrity

both visually and electronically.
