Software Installation and User’s Guide207Fibre Channel FeaturesFibre Channel FeaturesCThis appendix describes Fibre Channel (FC) functionality with your ICP RAID controller.Fibre Channel functionality does not alter the normal interaction with your RAIDcontroller. In fact, there are no user-definable parameters specific to Fibre Channel. Thereare however some differences in how information about your Fibre Channel is presented.This section covers these differences.C.1 Boot BIOS MessageDuring system POST, the ICP RAID Controller BIOS check informs the user of the stateof the Fibre Channel loops. In Figure C-1, the screen shows that Loop A has been initiatedand Loop B has not been initiated.Note: Color was added to screen only to highlight.This would be expected for a single loop configuration. In a dual loop configuration, thiswould indicate that action is required to resolve the problem with the failed loop.Figure C-1. Fibre Channel Boot BIOS Screen
