Overview of the FCSA
The FCSA has two ports that allow connection to external, fibre-channel-enabled
devices. Figure 1-1 shows the ports on the FCSA.
Note. In this manual, the term port refers to the physical connector on the adapter to which
the cable is connected and is used for hardware discussions such as adapter location and
connectors. The term ServerNet addressable controller (SAC) refers to the software
presentation of the port (the I/O controller) and is used when discussing configuration.
Caution. Do not use the Ethernet ports on the FCSA. The Ethernet ports are not compatible
with the FCSA fibre-channel ports. Port 1 and Port 2 in
Figure 1-1 are available on an FCSA.
