Dual Port Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card

An optional dual port Fibre Channel (FC) Mezzanine Card enables Fibre Channel support for
clustering capabilities and a SAN connection when used in conjunction with an interconnect
with Fibre Channel support. The FC Mezzanine Card replaces the standard NIC module that
is shipped with some server blades. For more information about connecting to the SAN, refer
to the Heterogeneous Open SAN Design Reference Guide located at
http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html

Card option. The FC Mezzanine Card may already be installed on some server blades. Refer to the HP
