No, because you ask for a Fibre Channel HBA and i have postet all supportet Dell SKUs. Your card from a above is a Intel x520 SFP+ NETWORK CARD and work for Ethernet but not Fibre Channel.   The connector is optical for Fiber which looks identical but its not compatible.

Tetoantemo,

 

I apologize, I don't understand what you are requesting. Would you include more information, such as the systems you are using, and what you are wanting to do?
Also, it may be easier for you to call in to sales to price the alternatives as well. 

 

Let me know.

I found your first post very funny...  posting your HPE config in a Dell Forum

To connect your PowerEdge server to a FC fabric based on  the HPE gear your need a Qlogic or Emulex FC HBA for your PowerEdge.

  1. Your HPE MSA comes with 16G FC.. so you should buy a 16G FC HBA ... for not wasting money. Keep in mind that your FC Switch is a 32G one.. but you bought 16G transceiver based on the quote you post. Warning... ports on FC Switches a often licensed in groups. So check our port counting.
  2. The Dell Riser Config 1  is one with FullProfile Slots. You have 2 CPU which means enough PCIe lanes for all the Riser Slots. I assume no add. Cards already places there so that there is at lease one FullProfile Slot available
  3. Check your OS and if its comes with drivers for Qlogic or Emulex FC HBAs
  4. For redundancy you need 2x 1 Port FC HBA or  1x 2 Port FC HBA.  We use the Dual Port to save some money and for redundancy i have a lot of members within my vSphere ESXi clusters
  5. We prefer the QLOGIC over the Emulex(but thats my private opinion)

If you ask for the SKU of the needed FC HBA (16G, Dual Port, Qlogic) i can take a look into the list and post the SKU for the custom kit. But i suggest to contact your local Dell sales rep.

Regards,
Joerg

Description:
Dell Emulex LPE16002 16Gb/s Fibre Channel

There is other models compatible with it or other vendors

Choose one of these

In the last column you will see the Dell SKU. Because of chip shortage you have to select the V2 ones if you wann order one from Dell directly.
