Fibre Channel Kit Description
The Fibre Channel board provides for connectivity and high speed data
transfers between Profile systems. A LAN hub and a Fibre Channel hub are
required to connect groups of greater than two Profiles and, in general, one set
of hubs is required for each group of Profiles to be connected.
Fibre Channel Board
The Fibre Channel (FC) board is a networking device which uses the Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) protocol. The FC board is compatible with
the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus. With the on-board
Gigabaud Link Module (GLM), the FC board provides the functionality to
network numerous Profile systems.
PCI Interconnect Board
This is a passive 3-connector board which provides a local bus connection
between the Master EDR board, the Slave EDR (if present), and the FC board.
It is attached to connectors on the top edges of these boards.
