N2XX-AEPCI05 is the Cisco Emulex LPe 12002 2-port 8G FC LC PCIe Fibre Channel HBA for UCS C260 M2. The adapter gives a Cisco UCS C260 M2 network adapter path for SAN storage, not Ethernet uplink service. UCS C260 M2 accepts the half-height HBA in the low-profile PCIe add-on sequence, with slot 6 first, slot 3 second, and slots 1, 2, 5 or 7 as alternates. Slot 4 remains for the 10GbE PCIe LOM. The Fibre Channel ports connect to LC optical SAN cabling and negotiate 2G FC, 4G FC or 8G FC. N2XX-AQPCI05 is the same host's QLogic 8G FC choice where the buyer standardizes on QLogic drivers.
N2XX-AEPCI05 price for new stock is $1,983.45. N2XX-AEPCI05 refurb price is $1,071.00. N2XX-AEPCI05 is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

2G FC, 4G FC and 8G FC link rates are auto-detected, so each fabric port must match the storage switch speed. PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface service uses a short, low-profile MD2 card body with a standard bracket and a low-profile bracket option. N2XX-AEPCI05 uses short-wave LC optics; 8G FC multimode cable reaches 50 m on 50/125µm 500MHz-km fiber or 150 m on 50/125µm 2000MHz-km fiber. Universal Boot and SAN Boot belong to the LPe12002 feature set. Emulex OneCommand Manager handles discovery, monitoring, firmware and boot code upgrades. Windows Server, Linux, Solaris, VMware vSphere and Windows Hyper-V operating systems are named for the HBA. The card measures 167.64 mm deep and 68.91 mm high, and it runs at 0°C to 55°C.
N2XX-AEPCI05 is offered new sealed and certified refurbished; new carries up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished carries up to 1 year. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, and every port links at rated speed. Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. Order the base PID for installed spares and the matching bracket for the chosen C260 M2 slot. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA regions, RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government apply.

A buyer maintaining a UCS C260 M2 after 29 February 2024 needs a like-for-like 8G FC HBA spare. The existing server and adapter are past Cisco service. Specify the same PID, LC fabric rate and bracket before the PO.
A rack server with failed dual FC storage paths needs the Emulex LPe 12002 replacement rather than an Ethernet adapter. The two LC ports restore 8G FC, 4G FC or 2G FC SAN attachment. Confirm the C260 M2 slot and fiber type before the PO.
A staging rack with UCS C260 M2 hardware needs Fibre Channel boot or array testing at 8G FC. The HBA gives the lab the same LPe12002 driver family as the production spare pool. Confirm slot 6 or slot 3 placement before the PO.
10GbE Ethernet uplink
N2XX-AEPCI05 carries Fibre Channel storage traffic, not Ethernet. UCS C260 M2 uses N2XX-AIPCI01 for a dual 10GbE SFP+ Ethernet adapter.
QLogic HBA standard
N2XX-AEPCI05 is the Emulex 8G FC choice. UCS C260 M2 also takes N2XX-AQPCI05 for a QLogic dual-port 8G FC HBA.
Slot 4 installation
UCS C260 M2 reserves slot 4 for the 10GbE PCIe LOM. Use the low-profile add-on card slot order for this HBA.

N2XX-AEPCI05 is the Emulex LPe 12002 Dual Port 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA under a Cisco UCS C-Series PID. N2XX-AEPCI05= is the Cisco spare form for the same HBA. The model name is LightPulse LPe12002, and the order code maps to the 8G FC PCIe HBA SKU.
N2XX-AEPCI05 fits UCS C260 M2 as a half-height PCIe option card. The C260 M2 slot sequence for low-profile add-on cards uses slot 6 first, slot 3 second, and slots 1, 2, 5 or 7 as alternates. Slot 4 remains for the 10GbE PCIe LOM.
A UCS C260 M2 uses N2XX-AEPCI05 for dual-port 8G FC SAN connectivity, not Ethernet uplink service. Its PCIe option set also has N2XX-AIPCI01 for dual 10GbE SFP+ Ethernet, N2XX-AIPCI02 for quad 1GbE, UCSC-PCIE-ITG for dual 10GBase-T, and N2XX-AQPCI05 for QLogic 8G FC.
N2XX-AEPCI05 has 2 x 8G FC LC optical ports, a PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface, a low-profile MD2 card body, and standard plus low-profile bracket options. The card is 167.64 mm deep and 68.91 mm high. Operating temperature is 0°C to 55°C.
N2XX-AEPCI05 provides two Fibre Channel optical ports for LC SAN cabling. Each port auto-detects 2G FC, 4G FC or 8G FC, so the storage switch port must run one of those FC rates. The top single-port data rate is 8G FC.
N2XX-AEPCI05 works with 50/125µm multimode fiber at 8G FC. The reach is 50 m on 500MHz-km fiber or 150 m on 2000MHz-km fiber. Match the LC optical SAN side and the FC speed before the PO.
N2XX-AEPCI05 should use the UCS C260 M2 low-profile add-on card slot order: slot 6 first, slot 3 second, then slots 1, 2, 5 or 7. Slot 4 is reserved for the 10GbE PCIe LOM, so do not plan this HBA for slot 4.
N2XX-AEPCI05 is named with Windows Server, Linux, Solaris, VMware vSphere and Windows Hyper-V operating system coverage. Emulex OneCommand Manager handles local and remote discovery, monitoring, event work, driver parameters, firmware and boot code upgrades. Use that tool for HBA administration on matching hosts.
N2XX-AEPCI05 includes Universal Boot and Boot from SAN capability for the Emulex LPe12002 feature set. That fit matters when the UCS C260 M2 boots from the Fibre Channel array rather than local disks. Keep the HBA firmware and boot code aligned with the operating system build.
N2XX-AEPCI05 is the base orderable PID, and N2XX-AEPCI05= is the Cisco spare form for the same Emulex LPe 12002 8G FC HBA. The equals sign belongs to Cisco ordering, not ORM's certified refurbished condition. Use the form that matches the existing installed spare record.
N2XX-AEPCI05 is the Emulex LPe 12002 8G FC HBA, while N2XX-AQPCI05 is the QLogic QLE2562 8G FC HBA for the same UCS C260 M2 option set. Choose the Emulex PID for Emulex driver and management standardization, and choose the QLogic PID for QLogic standardization.
N2XX-AEPCI05 is an 8G FC Emulex LPe12002 HBA under the older N2XX C-Series PID family. UCSC-PCIE-BD16GF is an Emulex LPe31002 2 x 16G FC PCIe x8 HBA. The first suits 8G FC estates; the second suits 16G FC refresh planning.
Cisco stopped selling N2XX-AEPCI05 on 14 February 2019, and Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024. N2XX-AEPCI05 serves UCS C260 M2 C-Series rack servers as a dual-port 8G FC PCIe HBA, and the end-of-sale record gives no replacement product for this PID.
ORM offers N2XX-AEPCI05 new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
