General Information:

•ESCON confi gured in 4-port increments. Up to 28 chan- nels in 2 cards, 60 channels in 4 cards, 88 channels in 6 cards.

•120 in 8 cards, etc. up to a maximum 69 cards, 1024 channels.

•OSA-Express can be Gigabit Ethernet, 1000BASE-T Ethernet or Token-Ring.

•Total number of PCIXCC / PCICA is 8 per system.

•If ICB-2 or ICB-3 are required on the system, these will use up a single I/O slot for every 2 ICB-2 or ICB-3 to accommodate the STI-2 and STI-3 cards.
