Fibre Channel address
ATTO ExpressPCI host adapters are configured
with a unique address designated by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
The WorldWide Port Name (WWN) and Node
name are the two components of the address
assigned to Fibre Channel products. This address,
which is stored in the flash ROM on the ATTO
ExpressPCI host adapter, allows the system to
recognize it 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 below.
