Ethernet 4 ServerNet Adapter (E4SA)
Ethernet 4 ServerNet Adapter (E4SA)
The E4SA is a double-high ServerNet adapter that supports four Ethernet interfaces
and communicates with multiple processors through dual ServerNet interfaces to the
ServerNet fabrics. Two E4SAs are used to connect a SWAN concentrator to a
processor. For information about E4SAs, refer to the LAN Configuration and
Management Manual.
Fast Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (FESA)
The FESA is a single-port adapter that provides connectivity between Integrity
NonStop NS-series servers and Fast Ethernet 802.3u LANs. The data transfer rate is
limited to 10 Mbps when the FESA is connected to a SWAN concentrator, but a data
transfer rate of 10/100 Mbps is possible when the FESA is connected to a SWAN 2
concentrator. For information about FESAs, refer to the LAN Configuration and
Management Manual.
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA)
The Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA) is a single-port ServerNet adapter
that provides Gigabit connectivity between Integrity NonStop NS-series systems and
Ethernet LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51 through 54 of an I/O
enclosure and slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure. The data transfer rate is
limited to 10 Mbps when the GESA is connected to a SWAN concentrator, but a data
transfer rate of 10/100 Mbps is possible when the GESA is connected to a SWAN 2
concentrator. For information about the GESA, refer to the LAN Configuration and
Management Manual.
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet Adapter (G4SA)
The Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) is a multiport ServerNet
adapter that provides Gigabit connectivity between Integrity NonStop NS-series
systems and Ethernet LANs. A G4SA can be directly installed in slots 1 through 5 of an
I/O adapter module (IOAM). Since there are two IOAMs in an IOAM enclosure, a total
of 10 G4SAs can be installed in an enclosure. The G4SA replaces the Ethernet 4
ServerNet adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit
Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA). The G4SA is the only LAN adapter supported for
the IOAM enclosure, and it cannot be installed in a Integrity NonStop NS-series
enclosure. The data transfer rate is limited to 10 Mbps when the G4SA is connected to
a SWAN concentrator, but a data transfer rate of 10/100 Mbps is possible when the
G4SA is connected to a SWAN 2 concentrator. For information about the G4SA, refer
to the LAN Configuration and Management Manual.
