Chapter 1. IBM Flex System FC3052 2-port 8Gb
FC Adapter
The IBM Flex System™ FC3052 2-port 8Gb FC Adapter provides compute nodes with
high-speed access to a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). This 2-port 8 Gb
adapter is based on the Emulex® 8 Gb Fibre Channel ASIC, and it uses industry-proven
technology to provide high-speed, reliable access to SAN connected storage. The two
ports enable redundant connections to the SAN, which can increase reliability and
reduce downtime.
This User's Guide contains information and instructions for installing the adapter,
updating the firmware, and solving problems. See the documentation that came with
your IBM Flex System compute node for information on how to install the adapter;
then, return to this User's Guide for the information and instructions needed to
complete the installation.
