fabric fault LED FC-AL FC adapter FC device FC port FC-SCSI hardware path ID FC-SW FDDI fiber fibre Fibre Bridge Fibre Channel (FC) F Fibre Channel-defined interconnection methodology that supports high-speed data routing in Fibre Channel networks. During power up and self test, the 4x50 Fault LED comes on. After self test, if this LED remains on or comes on, the 4x50 has a problem with one of its components. During normal operation, this LED should be off. An acronym for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop topology. A printed circuit assembly that translates data between the FC host processor's internal bus and the FC link. This is also known as an HBA, or Host Bus Adapter. A device that uses Fibre Channel communications. An opening at the back of the 4x50 that provides a fiber optic connection between the FC adapter and the FC host. A FC term describing a list of values showing the physical hardware path of the FC host to the target device. An acronym for Fibre Channel switched topology. The highest performance Fibre Channel fabric, providing a choice of multiple path routings between pairs of F-ports. An acronym for the Fibre Distributed Data Interface. ANSI's architecture for a metropolitan area network; a network based on the use of optical fibre cable to transmit data at 100 MBsc. A fiber optic cable made from thin strands of glass through which data in the form of light pulses is transmitted (LASER, LED). It is often used for high-speed transmission over medium (200m) to long (10km)distances but it can be used for short distances (
