how to install Broadcom LPe35002-M2 FC Host Bus Adapter
- Power down the server and disconnect all power sources before beginning installation.
- Open the server chassis and identify an appropriate PCIe slot that matches the adapter’s interface and height (full-height or low-profile options may apply).
- Carefully insert the LPe35002-M2 into the PCIe slot, ensuring it is seated firmly and secured with a screw or retention mechanism as required by the chassis.
- Connect 32G Fibre Channel fiber optic cables to the adapter’s SFP+ ports, using appropriate connectors and transceivers as dictated by your SAN design.
- Power on the server and install the Broadcom driver package compatible with your operating system. This may involve loading drivers from Broadcom’s repository or your OS vendor’s driver catalog.
- Enter the server’s firmware or BIOS utility (if required) to confirm the adapter is detected, then boot into the operating system and verify that the HBA appears in device management tools.
- Install any recommended firmware updates and run a basic SAN fabric test to confirm link integrity, zoning, and path availability before placing the server into production.
- Configure storage initiators, zones, and NPIV or other virtualization settings as needed for your environment, and monitor performance through supported management tools.

Excellent build quality and thick chrome, strong threaded screw
Color: Silver
I purchased this as a gift for a friend that had problems with wine corks being broken and left inside the bottle. The intention was to have this longer tapered screw extend all the way beyond the bottom of the cork to pull out the entire cork without leaving pieces inside the bottle.
One detail that is missing from the instructions is the secret to how a wine cork remover must be used to insure success. The tapered screw must be twisted many turns, which will raise the two lever arms directly upwards away from the bottle. It is critical that you keep turning the screw and remove the metal or paper seal that is on the outside of the bottle before you stop turning. By looking at the bottom of the cork inside the bottle, you can watch the end of the tapered screw appear as it is turned deep inside the cork, beyond the bottom of the cork.
Once you have visual verification that the screw is all the way in, notice the appearance of the TOP of the screw outside the cork. You will see that it appears to have been turned very far, potentially damaged the outer surface of the cork. That is a GOOD sign that you used enough rotations of the screw to correctly engage the entire cork. Never skip these steps before you proceed to remove the cork.
When the screw is in the correct position, the two levers are all the way up. It may take some force to push them down, so put the wine bottle in a SINK, not a countertop. This lowers the bottle for easier access and gives you a safe place to put the cork remover after you open the bottle. Using a controlled force with both hands, move both levers down carefully to make sure that you do not deflect the tapered screw in a way that is misaligned with the neck of the bottle.
As the cork is removed, the last part may be fragile from contact with the wine. In addition, the entire cork remover becomes less stable, and free to pivot if you are not careful. This last motion can still damage a cork and create fragments, so just be careful and precise to gently pivot the levers all the way down and then if necessary use a twisting motion to ease the last part of the cork out of the bottle.
This method has never failed to remove hundreds of corks from bottles made all over the world without wrecking the cork. Try it and you will never have a broken cork problem again.
