Chapter 6. Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter Interface
The Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (Type 4-S) and the 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter (Type 4-W) connect host systems to a storage subsystem through a fibre
channel interface.
Adapter LEDs
The adapters have two LEDs: green and yellow located near the connectors. These
LEDs can be used to determine the state of the adapter.
