T410 not supports QLE2562 HBAs?
We would like our T410 to connect to our SAN but on T410's specifications it does not specifically say it supports QLE2562. We are wondering if it is actually not supported? Somebody said it's awkward to have T-series with SAN. Is it true?

If T410 does not support QLE2562, how come the configuration page has such option? configure.us.dell.com/.../config.aspx

If it took 3 days and without an answer. I know, both T110 and T410 are not for SAN applications. Can we get full refund for the couple T110 purchased?

Hi Eugene,
Again, apologies on the late response
I have sent you an email to work this out if possible. Having the QLE2562 listed as an option, the T410 should have verified support for the product from our tech sales support team. But I can't say the same for the T110 as yet, do reply my mail and I'll try my best to assist you on this.
Thank you.

After flashing the latest BIOS, it works.
Hi Eugene,
I have a QLE2562 in my T410 and it works fine with my SAN lab. I don't know why this would be 'awkward' except that
SANs usually live in the datacenter and servers made for Datacenter racks are more likely to match the R-Series than the T-Series.. That's the only thing I could see.
Best regards,

Hi,
You may refer to the link below to check for the server models that are verified for the QLE2562 :
www.qlogic.com/.../DellOEMPartnership.aspx
As shown, the T110 and T410 are both not on the list, thus it is not advisable to install the card on them even if the required slot is available. Entry level servers are seldom used to host larger SAN setups but if you are looking at setting up an additional storage environment for file sharing, you might want to consider looking into other options running on iSCSI or SAS ( such as the MD3XXX series ). Do check with your tech sales rep to see what Dell is offering at the moment.
Thank you.
