Dell 0T3TK5

Overview

The Dell 0T3TK5 is a dual port 32Gb Fibre Channel adapter designed to provide servers with high-bandwidth, low-latency access to shared storage. It features two independent 32Gb Fibre Channel ports and connects via a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, making it suitable for enterprise rack servers that require reliable and fast storage networking. This adapter is ideal for environments where consistent throughput and minimal latency are essential, such as virtualization clusters, database servers, and high-volume transaction systems.

Key features

• Two independent 32Gb Fibre Channel ports that support load balancing and redundancy to maintain network reliability.
• PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface ensures ample bandwidth for data transfer between the server and storage network.
• Includes two SFP+ transceivers, allowing immediate deployment without the need to purchase additional optics.
• Powered by the proven QLogic QLE2742 controller, delivering stable and efficient SAN performance.
• Standard profile bracket fits most rack-mount server chassis, simplifying installation in enterprise environments.
• Supports familiar QLogic management utilities for easy zoning, firmware updates, and performance monitoring.

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter integrates seamlessly into Fibre Channel SAN environments, connecting servers to storage arrays and Fibre Channel switches. Its dual 32Gb ports provide dedicated bandwidth for storage traffic, reducing contention on general-purpose networks. The PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot ensures compatibility with modern servers, while the included SFP+ transceivers support standard Fibre Channel optical connections.

Performance and reliability

Designed for demanding data center workloads, the 0T3TK5 delivers consistent throughput and low latency essential for virtualization, database management, and transaction processing. The dual-port design offers redundancy, so if one link fails, the other maintains connectivity. The QLogic controller is well-regarded for its stability and efficient handling of SAN traffic, helping maintain smooth operation in large-scale storage networks.

Ideal uses and environments

This adapter is well suited to enterprise data centers that require high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity for servers handling critical storage tasks. It fits naturally into setups that use Fibre Channel switches and storage arrays, especially when upgrading from older 8Gb or 16Gb cards. IT professionals managing large SANs will find it a practical choice for expanding fabric capacity or refreshing infrastructure with minimal downtime.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
