G4SA
G4SA. See Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA).
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA). A single-port ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
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.
Two versions of the GESA are available:
•
3865 GESA-C (T523572): a single-port copper version compliant with the 1000
Base-T standard (802.3ab)
•
3865 GESA-F (T523572): a single-port fiber version compliant with the 1000
Base-SX standard (802.z)
Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). A multiport ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is installed in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of an I/O
adapter module (IOAM). There are two IOAMs in an I/O adapter module enclosure
(IOAM enclosure), so a total of 10 G4SAs can be installed in an enclosure. The G4SA
is the only LAN adapter supported for the IOAM enclosure. Although the G4SA
implements the Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet
adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA) functions, it
cannot be installed in an HP NonStop™ S-series enclosure.
gigabyte (GB). A unit of measurement equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 megabytes).
See also kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), and terabyte (TB).
Global Customer Support Center (GCSC). A support organization that provides telephone
and remote diagnostic support for HP customers. GCSCs are located all over the
world. See also Online Support Center (OSC).
global offset table (GOT). A table of indirect addresses of data, including function
descriptors, that might reside in a different loadfile.The GOT is an artifact of the native
compiler.
globalized. The import-control characteristic of a loadfile that allows it to import symbols
from any loadfile in the loadList of the program with which it is loaded. When those
loadfiles offer multiple definitions of the same symbol, those loadfiles are searched in
loadList sequence, and the first definition found takes precedence. See also
searchList.
globally unique ID (GUID). A unique, read-only number stored in nonvolatile memory
(SEEPROM) on a ServerNet II Switch at the time of manufacture. The GUID also
appears on the bar code label. This number can be used programmatically to identify
the switch.
GMS. Group, module, slot CRU or FRU identification scheme.
GOT. See global offset table (GOT).
