Serial port
The interface controller is equipped with one serial port. See
,
, or
for
the location of the serial port.
NOTE:
The serial port is an HP service port not intended for customer use on the ESL E-Series library.
Ethernet port
One Ethernet port with an LED indicator is included in the interface controller. See
,
or
for the location of the Ethernet port.

Link - Valid Ethernet link
External FC ports
Two FC ports (for external connections) with LED indicators are found on the interface controller: Port
F0 and Port F1. See
, or
for the location of the FC ports.
•
Green (ACT) - FC port activity
•
Green (LINK) - Valid FC link
SCSI buses (e2400-160 FC interface controller only)
Four SCSI buses with LED indicators are included in the FC interface controller. See
for the
location of the LEDs.
•
Green - SCSI bus activity on corresponding port
Internal FC ports (e2400-FC 2G or 4G interface controller only)
The native FC interface controller has 6 native FC ports with LED indicators: 2 ports (FC0 and FC1)
connect to the SAN; 4 ports (TD0 through TD3) connect to drives in the corresponding cluster. See
and
for the location of these ports.

Green (LINK) - Valid FC link
LAN-free backup and restore
The e2400-160 FC, e2400-FC 2G, and e2400–FC 4G interface controllers can enable LAN-free
backup/restore to allow the bulk of data traffic to be moved from the LAN to the storage area network
(SAN).
See
for an illustration of this process.
