Ethernet 4 ServerNet Adapter (E4SA)
Ethernet 4 ServerNet Adapter (E4SA)
The E4SA is a double-high ServerNet adapter that supports four Ethernet interfaces
and communicates with multiple processors through dual ServerNet interfaces to the
ServerNet fabrics. Two E4SAs are used to connect a SWAN concentrator to a
processor. For information about E4SAs, refer to the LAN Configuration and
Management Manual.
Fast Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (FESA)
The FESA is a single-port adapter that provides connectivity between NonStop
S-series servers and Fast Ethernet 802.3u LANs. The data transfer rate is limited to 10
Mbps when the FESA is connected to a SWAN concentrator, but a data transfer rate of
10/100 Mbps is possible when the FESA is connected to a SWAN 2 concentrator. For
information about FESAs, refer to the LAN Configuration and Management Manual.
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA)
The Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA) is a single-port ServerNet adapter
that provides Gigabit connectivity between NonStop S-series systems and Ethernet
LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51 through 54 of an I/O enclosure and
slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure. The data transfer rate is limited to 10 Mbps
when the GESA is connected to a SWAN concentrator, but a data transfer rate of
10/100 Mbps is possible when the GESA is connected to a SWAN 2 concentrator. For
information about the GESA, refer to the LAN Configuration and Management Manual.
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet Adapter (G4SA)
The Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) is a multiport ServerNet
adapter that provides Gigabit connectivity between NonStop S-series systems and
Ethernet LANs. A G4SA can be directly installed in slots 1 through 5 of an I/O adapter
module (IOAM). Since there are two IOAMs in an IOAM enclosure, a total of 10 G4SAs
can be installed in an enclosure. The G4SA replaces the Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter
(E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet
adapter (GESA). The G4SA is the only LAN adapter supported for the IOAM
enclosure, and it cannot be installed in a NonStop S-series enclosure. The data
transfer rate is limited to 10 Mbps when the G4SA is connected to a SWAN
concentrator, but a data transfer rate of 10/100 Mbps is possible when the G4SA is
connected to a SWAN 2 concentrator. For information about the G4SA, refer to the
LAN Configuration and Management Manual.
ServerNet Wide Area Network (SWAN) Concentrator
The SWAN concentrator is a communications device that provides WAN connections.
HP recommends that you configure your satellite-connect or direct-connect
line-handler process in the same processor pair as the SWAN concentrator.
