160 IBM z13s Technical Guide
4.8.2 FICON channels
The FICON Express16S, FICON Express8S, and FICON Express8 features conform to the
following architectures:
Fibre Connection (FICON)
High Performance FICON on z Systems (zHPF)
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP)
They provide connectivity between any combination of servers, directors, switches, and
devices (control units, disks, tapes, and printers) in a SAN.
Each FICON Express16S or FICON Express8S feature occupies one I/O slot in the PCIe I/O
drawer. Each feature has two ports, each supporting an LC Duplex connector, with one
PCHID and one CHPID associated with each port.
