Glossary

41FCA2384 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter for OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide

FCP

Fibre Channel Protocol.

FDDI

Fibre Distributed Data Interface. A network based on the use of optical-fiber cable

to transmit data at 100Mbit/sec.

Fiber

Thin filament of glass. An optical waveguide consisting of a core and cladding,

which is capable of carrying information in the form of light. Fibre is also a

general term used to cover all physical media types supported by Fibre Channel,

such as optical fiber, twisted pair, and coaxial cable.

Fiber Optics

Light transmission through optical fibers for communication or signaling.

Fibre Channel

A high-speed, serial, bidirectional, topology independent, multi-protocol, highly

scalable interconnection between computers, peripherals, and networks.

Gb/s

Gigabits per second or 1 billion bits per second. A reference to processing speed.

GB/s

Gigabytes per second or 1,073,741,824 bytes per second. A reference to

processing speed.

GLM

Gigabit Link Module. A transmitter and receiver that provides high-speed serial

links, enabling continuous throughput in each direction simultaneously.

Host Adapter Module (HAM)

A HAM is the driver component used to drive specific HBA hardware in the

NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NPA).

Interrupt Request (IRQ)

Network boards are supplied with default settings for the IRQ, I/O port and base

memory address. An IRQ is a signal protocol used by hardware devices, such as

printers and modems, to let the computer know that they need some attention.

When an IRQ is invoked, the CPU puts its other work “on hold” and services the

needs of the interrupting device.

Kilometer

1,000 meters or 3,281 feet. The kilometer is a unit of measurement commonly

used in fiber optics. To convert kilometers to miles, multiply the number of

kilometers by .62 to achieve the number of miles. To convert miles to kilometers,

multiply the number of miles by 1.61 to achieve the number in kilometers.
