1-6 Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Troubleshooting Guide 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is installed in a server with a PCI local bus and provides an interface between the PCI bus in the server and Fibre Channel-connected external storage systems. The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter interface to the server is the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The PCI interface is a high-performance, 64-Bit/66-MHz bus with multiplexed address and data lines, and parity information. It provides a high-speed (up to 528 MB/s) path between the system board and the Host Adapter. The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is a PCI Bus Master device and conforms to the current PCI Local Bus Specification. The Host Adapter requires the installation of a GigaBit Interface Converter (GBIC) module before the Fibre Channel cable is connected. The GBIC converts electrical signals to optical signals, and vice versa, for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel cable connector is plugged into the installed GBIC module.

64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter
The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is installed in a server with a PCI local bus and
provides an interface between the PCI bus in the server and Fibre Channel-connected external
storage systems.
The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter interface to the server is the Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The PCI interface is a high-performance, 64-Bit/66-MHz
bus with multiplexed address and data lines, and parity information. It provides a high-speed (up
to 528 MB/s) path between the system board and the Host Adapter. The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre
Channel Host Adapter is a PCI Bus Master device and conforms to the current PCI Local Bus
Specification.
The Host Adapter requires the installation of a GigaBit Interface Converter (GBIC) module
before the Fibre Channel cable is connected. The GBIC converts electrical signals to optical
signals, and vice versa, for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel
cable connector is plugged into the installed GBIC module.
