A host interface (CA) is an adapter that has interface ports to connect a controller to a server.
The following table shows the maximum number of host interfaces that can be installed per controller.

Host interfaces can be added during system operation. When an error occurs, a replacement can be made while the system is running.
FC and iSCSI are available as the host interface. Different types of interfaces can exist together in the same controller.
The host interface specifications are shown below.
