G4SA
The M8800 Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) provides Gigabit connectivity between NonStop servers
and Ethernet LANs. G4SAs are installed in slots 1 through 5 of an I/O Adapter Module (IOAM).
Each G4SA contains one G4SA SAC, which contains up to four G4SA PIFs, resulting in four Ethernet ports on each
G4SA. For more information about the G4SA, including diagrams to identify specific ports, see the Gigabit Ethernet
4-Port Adapter Installation and Support Guide.
NOTE: If a ServerNet switch board is not present, G4SAs will not appear in OSM.

Actions
Abort
Terminates operation of the G4SA and the associated Ethernet ServerNet addressable controller (SAC). When the
Abort action finishes, the G4SA and the SAC are in the Stopped state.
Add
This action is displayed in OSM only when a G4SA is first inserted and not yet configured. Performing this action
ensures that the Configured Type is set to G4SA.
Delete
Deconfigures the G4SA, removing the associated G4SA SAC and PIF objects.This action can only be performed
after you delete the LIF associated with each G4SA PIF.
Power Off
Physically powers off the G4SA.
Reset
Places the G4SA in a state from which it can be started.
Start
Starts the G4SA and the associated G4SA SAC.The G4SA and the SAC must be in the Stopped state before you
perform this action.
