The only Fibre Channel device used internally with Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems is the
Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM). An FCDM and its disk drives are controlled through the
Fibre Channel ports located on the VIO enclosures. For more information on the Fibre Channel
ports, see Versatile I/O (VIO) Enclosure on page 5-15 or the Versatile I/O Manual. For more
information on the Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM), see Fibre Channel Disk Module (FCDM)
on page 5-17. For examples of cable connections between Fibre Channel ports on the VIO
enclosures and FCDMs, see “Example Configurations of the VIO Enclosures and Fibre Channel
Disk Modules”.
