- New PullCondition Levels Explained
The product has been mounted in a brand new system (e.g. server), then removed from the system, before entering service. These products may have some hours of usage due to system build time / burn-in / testing etc. New Pulls are guaranteed to have at least 95% (often 99%) of their service life remaining , they may show signs of being physically mounted and dismounted. All handling is performed by trained technicians, taking full ESD precautions.

Description
Qlogic Single Port Optical Fiber Channel Adapter PCI-X QLA2340 - New Pull
Designed and deployed by major server and storage OEMs, the QLogic SANblade QLA2340 and QLA2340L host bus adapters (HBAs) offer the ultimate in performance: 2-Gbps Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X. Eliminating traditional host bottlenecks that impede the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel, this union of the fastest I/O and host technologies creates the perfect balanced solution. These HBAs are based on unique single chip fibre channel controller architecture from QLogic. These multimode optic HBAs are specifically designed for servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as storage area network (SAN) environments.
Cost Effective
The QLA2340 is the right solution for the added boost in performance. If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the QLA2340L, a low-profile version of the QLA2340, is the perfect fit.
Leading Single Chip Integration
The QLA2340/2340L uniquely integrates a RISC processor, a Fibre protocol engine, and transceivers into a single, efficient FC controller chip that increases reliability and performance by lowering CPU utilization.
Broad OEM Acceptance
The QLA2340/2340L HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. TheQLA2340’s extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers makes it the perfect choice for multiplatform requirements.
Simplified Setup
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simply the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities. The QLA2340/40L is also fully compatible with industry standard application programming interfaces (APIs), including SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.
Proven Architecture
The QLA2340/2340L architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing. Proven architecture from QLogic delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality with its single-chip integration, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The QLA2340/2340L also has proven interoperability with all major software applications, hardware platforms, and operating systems.
The Bottom Line
Driving the standard for interoperability with extensive FC testing in SAN environments, you can feel confident in choosing the QLogic solution.
