QLA2340 is a QLogic SANblade single-port 2Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for enterprise SAN connectivity. It uses a 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X interface and provides multimode optical Fibre Channel connectivity through an LC connector. The adapter supports 1Gbps and 2Gbps Fibre Channel operation and can operate in FC-AL, point-to-point, and switched-fabric environments.
