the address assigned to Fibre Channel products. This
address, stored in flash memory, allows the system to
recognize the Celerity host adapter as a unique part of
your configuration. The address is clearly marked on
the back of the board for easy identification. Please
keep a reference copy of the number in a safe place or
write in the space provided on this page.

assigned to the first channel (1). Sequential WWNs
apply for additional channels.
