Identifying Ports
When you’re installing Adaptec network cards, it’s a good idea to
document where each port physically resides in the server,
especially when two or more identical network cards exist. This is
important because ports are identified by generic port names, such
as EMPCI1, EMPCI2, EMPCI3, etc.
Port names are assigned to ports in the order that the system scans
these ports at boot time. Consequently, whenever you physically
rearrange, add, or remove the network cards, the port names change
as well. Read this appendix for help in mapping the port names to
the physical ports in the server.
