Physical interface on a director or switch that can function either as a fabric port (F_Port) or an expansion port (E_Port), depending on the port type to which it connects. See also expansion port; fabric loop port; fabric port; hub port; node loop port; node port; segmented expansion port. GPM card. A port card that implements four generic ports (G_Ports) and provides the physical connection point for links to Fibre Channel devices. See gigahertz. Gb. A unit of measure for data storage, equal to approximately 134,217,728 bytes. Approximately one eighth of a gigabyte. GB. A unit of measure for data storage, equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Generally approximated as one billion bytes (D). GHz. One billion cycles per second (Hertz) (D). See generic port module card. See generic port. GUI. A visually oriented interface where the user interacts with representations of real-world objects displayed on the computer screen. Interactions with such objects produce actions that are intuitive to the user (D). See graphical user interface.
