Except for those shipped in dual-redundant chassis, SCSI-based controllers use channel 0 as the host channel and also as the communications path between controllers. If redundant controller configuration is preferred, you may need to assign other channels as host. Flexibility is added for all channels can be configured as host or drive.

Choose “View and Edit SCSI Channels” in the main menu. Channel status displays.
