Hi,

The part number A5702A is XP256 Client-Host Interface Processor Card. It is describes as "XP256 8-port SCSI Client-Host Interface Pair (CHIP) ". As indicated, these hostport FC interface cards comes in pairs.

I don't have or could get a picture of this part. This card gets installed in the DKC ( Controller Unit ) mounted at bottom side under storage clusters CL1 and CL2 portion.

I am kinda of confused.What type of connector is on this card.Is it a FC connector or is it a 68 pin female scsi connector?Also since this is called a pair would it be two cards with 4 connectors on each?

Thank you for your help.

It is Fibre Channel and there are 4 ports on each card, for 8 total.
