Standards compliance
HP products conform to these standards in a manner consistent with accepted engineering
practices and procedures. In certain cases, HP may add proprietary supplemental functions to
those specified in the standards. We verify conformance with Fibre Channel Standards by
subjecting our switches to SANmark Conformance Tests developed by the Fibre Channel
Industry Association. Our switches have earned the SANmark logo indicating such
conformance. SANmark is a limited testing program and does not test all standards or all
aspects of standards.
HP Fabric OS 4.4.x conforms to the following Fibre Channel Standards:
• FC-AL ANSI X3.272: 1996
• FC-AL-2 NCIT S 332: 1999
• FC-FLA NCIT S TR-20: 1998
• FC-GS-2 NCIT S 348-2000 Rev 7.01
