(my previous email was garbled by a greasemonkey script, sorry about that).<br><br>The onboard are just like cards in slots.&nbsp; So each of the fcp ports can
be for disk attach or for storage (it's programable with the fcadmin
config command - it's new and awesome!).&nbsp; <br><br>All the onboard gige ports are copper in all the 3050's I've seen.&nbsp; 
<br><br>Hope that helps,<br><br>-Blake<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/14/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Linux Admin</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:sysadmin.linux@gmail.com">sysadmin.linux@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span>
