G4SA Track ID and Bar Code Label
G4SA Track ID and Bar Code Label
A G4SA’s Track ID and bar code are on the white label located on the adapter’s purple
ejector latch. The bar code on this label encodes the Track ID and is used for tracking
purposes.
G4SA System Connections
A G4SA has three primary system connections:
•
Data transfer interface (ServerNet)
•
Maintenance entity (ME) interface
•
Power interface
Data Transfer Interface (ServerNet)
The data transfer interface consists of ports to the ServerNet X and Y fabrics. The
ports connect to the ServerNet addressable controller (SAC) on the adapter. If one
ServerNet fabric fails, the G4SA can still be accessed using the remaining fabric.
