The following topics briefly describe specific hardware and firmware features.

A.2.1 Hardware Loop ID

Each device communicating on an arbitrated loop requires an AL_PA, the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address. The host Fibre Channel supports a single hard loop ID in the range from 0 to 125. The drive channel allows up to 125 devices to be connected to a single loop.

The controller supports automatic loop ID assignment on the drive channel. A hard loop address ID is assigned to the disk drives by setting the radial switch.

A.2.2 Firmware Host-Side Connection Mode

The controller default is Loop Only in Host-side Parameters.
