Safety Information

DANGER

To avoid a shock hazard, do not connect or

disconnect any cables or perform installation,

maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product

during an electrical storm.

To avoid shock hazard:

– The power cord must be connected to a properly

wired and earthed receptacle.

– Any equipment to which this product will be

attached must also be connected to properly

wired receptacles.

When possible, use one hand to connect or

disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock

from touching two surfaces with different electrical

potentials.

Electrical current from power, telephone, and

communications cables is hazardous. To avoid

shock hazard, connect and disconnect cables as

described following when installing, moving, or

opening covers of this product or attached devices.

To Connect

1. Turn Everything OFF.

2. First, attach all cables to devices.

3. Attach signal cables to receptacles.

4. Attach power cord(s) to outlet.

5. Turn device ON.

To Disconnect

1. Turn Everything OFF.

2. First, remove power cord(s) from

outlet.

3. Remove signal cables from

receptacles.

4. Remove all cables from devices.

NOTE: In the UK, by law, the

Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for selecting the IBM Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI

Adapter. This adapter is a high-performance, direct memory access

(DMA) bus master host adapter designed for high-end systems. The

performance is derived from the ISP2100 chip, making this PCI

adapter a leading-edge host adapter. The ISP2100 combines a

powerful RISC processor, a fibre protocol module (FPM) with

gigabit transceivers, and a 64-bit peripheral component interconnect

(PCI) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The Netfinity

Fibre Channel PCI Adapter supports all Fibre Channel (FC)

peripherals that support private loop direct attach (PLDA) and

fabric loop attach (FLA). Installation of the Netfinity Fibre Channel

PCI Adapter is quick and easy.

What is Fibre Channel?

Fibre channel technology is outlined in the Information Systems -

Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (small computer system interface -

FCP) standard, revision 12, 30 May 1995. Fibre Channel is a

high-speed data transport technology used for mass storage and

networking. It connects mainframes, super computers, workstations,

storage devices, and servers. Using a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop

(FC-AL), 126 devices can be supported, compared to 15 devices with

Ultra SCSI.

Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates of 100 MB per second,

which is more than twice that of Ultra SCSI (40 MB per second). A

multimode optical interface is used for distances up to 500 meters.

With increased connectivity and performance, Fibre Channel is the

technology preferred and used by system designers.
