1-10 Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapters (host bus adapters) are the interface between the server and the RA4000 storage system. At least two host bus adapters (PCI or EISA), one for each cluster node, are required in the Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100. At least four host bus adapters (PCI only), two for each cluster node, are required in the HA/F200 configuration. For more information about this product, refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter Installation Guide. Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave Two Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave (GBIC-SW) modules are required for each Fibre Channel cable installed. Two GBIC-SW modules are provided with each RA4000 and host bus adapter. GBIC-SW modules hot-plug into Fibre Channel storage hubs, array controllers, and host bus adapters. These converters provide ease of expansion and 100 MB/s performance. GBIC-SW modules support distances up to 500 meters using multi-mode fibre optic cable. Cables Three general categories of cables are used for Compaq ProLiant HA/F100 and HA/F200 clusters: Server to Storage Shortwave (multi-mode) fiber optic cables are used to connect the servers, hubs and RA4000s in a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop configuration.

Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter
Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapters (host bus adapters) are
the interface between the server and the RA4000 storage system. At least two
host bus adapters (PCI or EISA), one for each cluster node, are required in the
Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100. At least four host bus adapters
(PCI only), two for each cluster node, are required in the HA/F200
configuration.

.
Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave
Two Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave (GBIC-SW) modules are required
for each Fibre Channel cable installed. Two GBIC-SW modules are provided
with each RA4000 and host bus adapter.
GBIC-SW modules hot-plug into Fibre Channel storage hubs, array
controllers, and host bus adapters. These converters provide ease of expansion
and 100 MB/s performance. GBIC-SW modules support distances up to
500 meters using multi-mode fibre optic cable.
Cables
Three general categories of cables are used for Compaq ProLiant HA/F100
and HA/F200 clusters:
Server to Storage
Shortwave (multi-mode) fiber optic cables are used to connect the servers,
hubs and RA4000s in a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop configuration.
