The QLA2212F board is an intelligent, high-performance, DMA bus master host adapter designed for high-end systems. The QLA2212F combines a powerful RISC processor, a fiber protocol module (FPM) with gigabit transceivers, and a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The QLA2212F board supports all FC peripherals that support private loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric loop attach (FLA). Installation of the QLA2212F board is quick and easy.
