2400 Series
PCIe-to-4Gbps and PCI-X-to-4Gbps
Fibre Channel Adapters
Overview
The QLogic 2400 Series Fibre Channel Adapters deliver unprecedented levels of performance, scalability, and reliability. By uniquely
offering intelligent networking functionality, such as intelligent interleaved direct memory access (iiDMA), RDMA, and overlapping
protection domains (OPD), the QLogic 4Gb adapters ensure that the demands of the enterprise-class data center are met. For
virtualization at the Fibre Channel port level, the adapters support N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) by allowing multiple N_Port IDs to
share the same physical Fibre Channel port. The adapters come in single-, dual-, and quad-port, multimode optic configurations and
are backed by an industry-leading, five-year (no charge) limited warranty

Highlights
DATA SHEET
• 150,000 IOPS per port
• iiDMA ensures maximum usage of data links
• Out-of-order frame reassembly (OoOFR) reduces congestion and
retransmissions
• Multi-ID and N_Port virtualization ready: allows physical ports to be
part of multiple logical networks
Unmatched Expertise
QLogic is the undisputed leader in Fibre Channel Adapters with more than
15 years of experience and six generations of Fibre Channel products that
have been qualified by all major server OEMs in multiple form factors.
QLogic owns the most established, proven Fibre Channel stack in the
industry: over 10 million Fibre Channel ports have been shipped.
Secure and Scalable
The QLogic 2400 Series Adapters deliver unprecedented levels of
performance and availability, as well as intelligent networking features
specific to enterprise-class data centers. The adapters provide intelligent
storage networking features that redefine the enterprise-class adapter
by providing increased data protection, advanced frame routing, and
enterprise-wide management capabilities. Additionally, the adapters
support standards-based virtualization—NPIV.
Comprehensive OS Support
QLogic offers the broadest range of support for all major OSs to ensure
OS and hardware server compatibility. Drivers are available for all major
OSs and hardware server platforms. A single driver strategy per OS
enables storage administrators to easily deploy and manage adapters in
heterogeneous SAN configurations.
• Universal boot support manages multiple hardware platforms and
boot options
• OPD for continuous protection of internal data paths
• T10 CRC ensures end-to-end data integrity across SANs
• Three LEDs per port display real-time status and link activity
information
Interoperability
All of the company’s products meet worldwide compliance hardware
and software specifications. Each product has earned storage partner
certifications and passed agency and regulatory testing. QLogic’s adapters
are tested extensively with third-party hardware and multiple software
applications to provide best-in-class SAN interoperability and compatibility.
You can be confident purchasing QLogic adapters to meet your Fibre
Channel storage networking needs.
Simplified Management
QLogic’s new, unified management application, QConvergeConsole® (QCC),
provides single-pane-of-glass management for the company’s broad
product line of storage and networking adapters: Fibre Channel, converged
networking, NIC, and iSCSI.
In addition, QLogic supports all major APIs, giving end users the flexibility
to manage their QLogic Fibre Channel Adapter portfolio using third-party
management tools.
