What fibre channel card do I order for the HP9000 K210 to connect to Brocade switches?

believe this will work for you... best to contact a reseller and inquire.

A3404A (HP Part number)
J2389-60001

The A3404's should work, but if you want to similate the switched environment, you will have to have a brocade that supports Fibre Assist and/or Quickloop. The 3404 is an Arbitrated Loop only card.

I think the A6685's work as well, but they are not officially supported in anything below a K400. They need to be installed in an HSC expansion bus. The internal HSC slot does not really have the bandwidth and power to handle a Fibre or Fiber(GB) card.

A3404 should work fine but only in quick loop .

For switched fabric or fabric login the A6685 are better . They need HSC expasion slots . I am not sure they are available on K210 .
