NonStop NS16000 Series Planning Guide (H06.11+)

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 Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter 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-optic interfaces are supported on the six ports of the G4SA,
although only four of these ports can be in use at any one time.
