Data Structure

FMT - This bit determines whether the data returned with the Board Information command will include information about all possible SCSI ID’s

(16)or will retain compatibility with previous adapters that were limited to 8 ID’s on a bus.

0Use 8 ID format.

1Use 16 ID format.

The format of the Data Structure returned from the Board Information command is illustrated in the follwoing table.

The Data Structure returned by the Board Information command has two parts. The first part of the structure consists of a special header primarily containing General Board Information (including hardware configuration).

The second part of the returned structure consists of eight or sixteen blocks of data (dependent on the setting of the FMT bit in the Options field of the Board Information command). These blocks describe the Unit Options that are set for each target attached to the RF3880. The first block corresponds to SCSI ID 0, the second to SCSI ID 1, etc.
