Fibre Channel address
Celerity FC adapters are configured with a unique
address designated by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers. The WorldWide Port Name
(WWN) and Node Name are the two components of
the address assigned to Fibre Channel products. This
address, stored in flash memory, allows the system to
recognize the Celerity host adapter as a unique part of
your configuration. The address is clearly marked on
the back of the board for easy identification. Please
keep a reference copy of the number in a safe place or
write in the space provided on this page.
Celerity FC host adapter WWNs are assigned for each
channel. The WWN listed on your host adapter is
assigned to the first channel (1). Sequential WWNs
apply for additional channels.
WWN 1: all adapters
WWN 2: 82EN, 84EN, 162E, 164E
WWN 3: 84EN, 164E
WWN 4: 84EN, 164E
