The ProLiant BL40p server blade delivers fibre channel support for SAN
implementations and clustering capabilities. The server blade has two PCI-X slots for
redundant SAN connectivity and is optimized for HP StorageWorks. In addition, the
server blade is also compatible with certain third-party SAN products. Refer to the
