for information on SATA drive configurations.
2.5.1 Internal Loop Structures
The Altos S205F / S200F Storage System enclosure is configured with two internal loop of 16 drives
per enclosure.
2.6 FC-AL Interface
The I/O module provides dual FC-AL SFP interface connections.
The I/O module provides bi-directional conversion between the Fibre Channel host side interface
and the SATA drives.The drives will not be presented to the Host until they are configured and
mapped by the controller.
When Logical Arrays are configured and mapped, each drive array appears as a single Fibre Channel
drive in a single loop.
Note
There are no external terminators required with Fibre Channel architecture and any drive may be
hot plugged during operation.
