CP41 is active and available for access.

for access and input/output processing.

Originator

The Fibre Channel N_Port responsible for starting an exchange. A FC origi-
nator is comparable to a SCSI initiator.

Point-to-Point

One of three existing FC topologies, in which two ports are directly
connected by a link with no fabric, loop, or switching elements present. The
PSFR-CP41 supports all topologies.

Port Name

A field value under the FC Status Menu; the FC port identifier; a 64-bit value
the factory assigns to each FC adapter.

Power On Self Test (POST)

A group of tests run when the PSFR-CP41 is powered on.

Processor

Contains the arithmetic and logic, control, and internal memory units that
control the PSFR-CP41.

Reset SCSI

For a specific SCSI bus, the host clears all inputs and outputs and then
resets the bus and all the devices connected to it.

Responder

The logical function in an N_Port responsible for supporting the exchange
initiated by the originator in another N_Port. A FC responder is comparable
to a SCSI target. The PSFR-CP41 is often the responder.
