G4SAs to Networks
This illustration shows the factory-default locations for the configurations of four FCSAs
and three Fibre Channel disk modules where the primary system file disk volumes are
in Fibre Channel disk module 1:

G4SAs to Networks
Currently only the G4SA provides Gigabit connectivity between Integrity NonStop NS-
series systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is an end node on the ServerNet and
uses either fiber-optic or copper cable for connectivity to user application LANs, as well
as for the dedicated service LAN. For more information on the G4SA, see Gigabit
Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet Adapter on page 5-19 or the Gigabit 4-Port ServerNet
Adapter Installation and Support Guide.
