Supported Fibre Channel host bus adapters
The following table lists the HBAs that have been tested for use within ME4 Series storage systems:
NOTE: This table does not imply that all of the HBAs and their driver/firmware stacks are supported by any or all server
vendors. You must ensure that the HBA and its associated drivers are included on the hardware compatibility list of the
vendor. This recommendation also applies to Dell EMC PowerEdge server products. Inclusion in this HBA compatibility
tables should not be interpreted as that the HBA and driver/firmware combination as being supported by any vendor for use
with their server products.
