Read/write circuit
The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed
transmission and an MEEPR4ML (Modified Enhanced Extended Partial Response Class 4 Maximum
Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external
noise and to improve data reliability.

Controller circuit
The controller circuit uses LSIs to increase the reliability and uses a high speed microprocessing unit
(MPU) to increase the performance of the SCSI controller.
1.3
System Configuration
For the Fibre Channel, the ANSI standard defines Arbitrated Loop, Fabric, and Point-to-Point
technologies. The MAN-series disk drives support the Arbitrated Loop technology. Figure 1.3 gives
an example of the FC-AL system configuration.
Figure 1.3
Example of FC-AL system configuration
Any device connected to the Fibre Channel is called a node. The nodes shown in Figure 3 represent
the initiator and individual disk drives. Each node has at least one port called an N_port. For FC-
AL, each port is called a Node-Loop port (NL_port).
The MAN-series disk drive has two ports, one of which is used for connections to an FC-AL. A
maximum of 126 NL_ports can be connected to a single port.
