Peripheral Component Interconnect
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is an interconnection bus system
that provides high speed operation.

ServerNet Advanced Interface Logic
ServerNet Advanced Interface Logic (SAIL) converts software requests into
ServerNet operations.
ServerNet I
ServerNet I is a high-speed, low-latency cluster interconnect that uses a
ServerNet I PCI adapter and two ServerNet I cables.
Simple Network Management Protocol
The simple network management protocol (SNMP) is a transmission control
protocol/IP (TCP/IP) protocol that generally uses the User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) to exchange messages between a management information base and a
management client residing on a network. Because SNMP does not rely on the
underlying communication protocols, it can be made available over other
protocols, such as UDP/IP.
ServerNet PCI Adapter
A ServerNet PCI adapter (SPA) provides a redundant, high speed cluster
interconnect.
