Dual Port Fibre Channel Networkcard PCI-X, 4Gb Host Bus Adapter (HBA) HP/Finisar QLA2243 P/N: 410985-001

The HP StorageWorks FC2243 dual-channel 4 Gb PCI-X 2.0 HBA for Windows now supports customers with Integrity and ProLiant Servers that have PCI-X I/O slots in them. It is the first 4Gb HBA to support this I/O bus architecture. This product now gives customers the ability to use the higher performance PCI-X 2.0 I/O bus to connect to their HP StorageWorks arrays.

The FC2243 is high performance, enterprise class host bus adapter that combines the backward compatibility and high bandwidth of 266 MHz PCI-X 2.0 with exceptional 4Gb/s Fiber Channel performance. Emulex HBA employs a firmware-based architecture and a unique Service Level Interface (SLI) that enable new features and other upgrades without costly adapter hardware changes. Emulex technology also allows for a single set of drivers and management tools across HBA product families. This kind of technical flexibility and investment protection is critical when working with evolving technology.
