870002-001 is the HPE spare part number for StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter. This is the number printed on the adapter label and referenced in HPE service documentation, so it is what you will find when tracing a failed Fibre Channel HBA. It is a low profile plug-in card with two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports using fiber optic cabling. Spare-numbered parts typically arrive as the bare adapter rather than a retail option kit, so reuse the bracket, optics and cables from the unit being replaced if the replacement does not include them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT 870002-001
What is the difference between 870002-001 and Q0L14A?
They identify the same physical adapter. 870002-001, the number on this page, is the HPE spare part number — the service-level identifier printed on the card and cited in support and repair documentation. Q0L14A is the option part number, used when the adapter is ordered as a sellable product or configured with a server. The hardware, the two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports and the low profile form factor are identical between them.
Will 870002-001 fit my server?
This adapter is listed as compatible with the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10, DL360 Gen9 and Gen10, DL380 Gen9 and Gen10, DL560 Gen10, DL580 Gen10, and ML350 Gen9. It is a low profile plug-in card, so confirm the slot in your chassis accepts a low profile card and that you have the correct bracket for that slot before installation.
What ports and cabling does this adapter use?
The card provides two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports. The data link protocol is 16Gb Fibre Channel and the cabling type is fiber optic, so each port connects to the fabric through optical transceivers and fiber cable. If your failed card had optics installed, verify whether the replacement arrives populated; otherwise transfer the transceivers from the removed adapter.
Which operating systems are supported?
Supported operating systems include SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, VMware ESX and VMware ESXi. After a like-for-like replacement the existing driver stack normally applies, since the replacement is the same adapter model as the part being removed.
Do I need to reconfigure anything after replacing the card?
The replacement adapter carries its own World Wide Names, so fabric zoning and any storage array host mappings keyed to the old card's WWNs must be updated to the new ones. The physical installation is otherwise like-for-like: same low profile plug-in form factor, same two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, same fiber optic cabling.
