Chapter 6. Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter Interface

The Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (Type 4-S), 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus
(Type 4-W), and 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter (Type 5704) connect host systems to a storage
subsystem through a Fibre Channel interface.

Adapter LEDs

The adapters have two LEDs: green and yellow, both located near the connectors. These LEDs can be
used to determine the state of the adapter.
