■ The interconnect ports, which are used only in partner group configurations,
cannot be used for host connections.
■ The FC-AL connection provides a data path to the application host.
■ The Ethernet connection provides a link to the management host.
■ The serial port is used solely for diagnostics and service by qualified service
personnel only.
■ Fiber-optic cable lengths between 2 and 500 meters, using short-wave laser and
50-micron fiber-optic cable, are supported.
