The topics documented in this section are for stand-alone Fabric Interconnect
deployments only. The Fabric Interconnect is orderable as a complete, engineered system called
the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA), which has different contents and installation
procedures. If you are deploying a stand-alone (non-VCA) Fabric Interconnect, continue
to use this documentation. If you are deploying a VCA Fabric Interconnect, do not use this
documentation. Instead, use the documentation that accompanied your VCA shipment.
