本标准定义了SCSI-3光纤通道协议（FCP）。FCP是一种映射协议（FC-4），用于将SCSI命令集应用于光纤通道。FCP根据SCSI体系结构模型（ANSI X3.270-1996）定义光纤通道信息单元。FCP还定义了如何使用光纤通道服务来执行SCSI体系结构模型定义的服务。

This standard defines the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP). The FCP is a mapping protocol (FC-4) for applying the SCSI command set to the Fibre Channel. The FCP defines the Fibre Channel information units in accordance with the SCSI Architecture Model (ANSI X3.270-1996). The FCP additionally defines how the Fibre Channel services are used to perform the services defined by the SCSI Architecture Model.
