Appendix F:Channel Number
Reference
This reference describes the convention used for channel numbers (also called
port numbers) and PMC option card slots. Labels on the rear panel and LEDs on
the front panel of the ADIC Gateway identify the channels, PMC slots and Storage
Area Network connections. The ADIC Management Console software and service
port commands associate these numbers to specific hardware connections.
Channel Numbering Convention
Each figure in this section represents a rear panel view of the ADIC Gateway to
illustrate the numbering convention for the Ultra SCSI channels, single and dual
port Fibre Channel PMC option cards, and Dual Channel Ultra2/3 SCSI PMC
option cards.
Ultra SCSI Channel and PMC Slot Numbering
Table F-1 shows that the four Ultra SCSI channels are numbered from bottom to
top, from left to right and the three PMC option slots are numbered from right to
left
