Dell KD414 - QLogic QLE2460 Single-Port PCI-E 4Gbps FC Host Bus Adapter

The QLogic QLE2460 single-port host bus adapter with a 4 Gbit / s Fiber Channel connection is available from us under the Dell part number KD414 or 0KD414. This was designed for companies that place high demands on your storage networks. With the help of the ASIC design and a unique hardware architecture, it achieves up to 150,000 IOPS.

With regard to the data throughput, the maximum of the Dell KD414 QLogic QLE2460 is around 750 MB. The host bus adapter also supports other intelligent functions for data security, administration and frame routing. The maximum data rate is set by means of auto-negotiation, which is why, in addition to 4.25 Gbit / s, 2.125 and 1.0625 Gbit / s are also supported.

As a transport protocol, the Dell KD414 uses QLogic QLE2460 PCI Express Fiber Channel HBA SCSI-FCP. A Small Form Factor Fixed (SFF) multimode LC connector is used to connect to the storage network, which is why a corresponding cable is required. On boot, the HBA also supports BIOS, EFI and FCode.

To use the Dell QLogic QLE2460 PCI Express FC HBA in the server, you should check the compatibility beforehand. This is possible, for example, using part number KD414, in which case a PCI Express x4 slot is required on the main board. In addition to Windows Server 2003 and 200, the operating system also supports Solaris 9 and 10, as well as various Linux distributions.
