External Disk System - Host Adapters

These features provide one four-port Fibre Channel/FICON host adapter. Host adapters are installed in an I/O enclosure. An I/O enclosure pair can support up to eight host adapters. For higher availability, it is recommended that adapters always be added in pairs and in a balance manner across the machine. Each adapter supports: Four ports, each with a full duplex transfer rate at 4Gb, 2Gb, or 1Gb per second SCSI-FCP ULP (Upper Layer Protocol) on point-to-point, fabric, and arbitrated loop (private loop) topologies FICON ULP on point-to-point and fabric topologies are supported.

This feature provides one 64-bit ESCON Host Adapter for ESS attachment to ESCON channels on zSeries and S/390 servers or ESCON directors. The adapter supports two ESCON links, with each link supporting up to 64 logical paths. Each port utilizes a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the optical transceiver, and supports use of 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cable terminated with a small form factor, industry standard MT-RJ connector.
