Fibre Channel address
Celerity FC adapters are configured with a unique
address designated by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers. The WorldWide Port
Name (WWN) and Node Name are the two
components of the address assigned to Fibre
Channel products. This address, stored in flash
memory, allows the system to recognize the
Celerity host adapter as a unique part of your
configuration. The address is clearly marked on
the back of the board for easy identification.
Please keep a reference copy of the number in a
safe place or write in the space provided on this
page.
Celerity FC host adapter WWNs are assigned for
each channel. The WWN listed on your host
adapter is assigned to the first channel (0).
Sequential WWNs apply for additional channels.
