I/O Adapter Module (IOAM) Enclosure and I/O

Adapters

FCSAs are installed in pairs and can reside in slots 1 through 5 of either IOAM (module

2 or 3) in an IOAM enclosure. The pairs can be installed one each in the two IOAM

modules in the same IOAM enclosure, or the pair can be installed one each in different

IOAM enclosures. The FCSA allows either a direct connection to an Enterprise Storage

System (ESS) or connection through a storage area network.

For detailed information on the FCSA, see the NonStop Fibre Channel Installation and

Support Guide.

Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet Adapter

The Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) provides gigabit connectivity to

Ethernet LANs. G4SAs can reside in slots 1 through 5 of each IOAM module.

A combination of copper and fiber interfaces are supported on the six ports of the

G4SA, although only four of these ports can be in use at any one time.

A G4SA can be configured as:

•

Two 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports and two 10/100 Mbps copper ports

•

Two 10/100/1000 Mbps multimode fiber ports and two 10/100 Mbps copper ports

A G4SA complies with the 1000 Base-T standard (802.3ab),1000 Base-SX standard

(802.3z), and these Ethernet LANs:

•

802.3 (10 Base-T)

•

802.1Q (VLAN tag-aware switch)

•

802.3u (Auto negotiate)

•

802.3x (Flow control)
