feature key
A unique key to enable additional product features. This key is entered into the Configure
Feature Key dialog box in the
Product Manager
application to activate optional hardware and
software features. Upon purchasing a new feature, HP will provide the feature key to the
customer.

Channel Physical Layer (FC-PH) standard such as optical fiber, copper twisted pair, and
copper coaxial cable.
Fibre Channel
FC. Integrated set of standards recognized by American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
which defines specific protocols for flexible information transfer. Logically, a point-to-point
serial data channel, structured for high performance.

Fibre Channel address
A 3-byte node port (N_Port) identifier which is unique within the address domain of a fabric.
Each port may choose its own identifier, or the identifier may be assigned automatically during
fabric login.
