Target ID		FC Loop ID—You may need to change the FC Loop ID if you want the SM module to be at a
		specific address or if your system checks addresses in reverse order (lowest address first).
		You have two options:
		•	SOFT—Use this setting if you do not care whether the SM module’s Loop ID changes
			when you power down and power up. This setting lets the FC loop initialization process
			determine the Loop ID.
		•	Any number between 0 and 125—Select a specific number if you want the Loop ID to
			stay the same after you power down and power up. The Disk Array Administrator
			software cannot tell you which Loop IDs are available. To be sure that you have
			successfully assigned the Loop ID you want, check the Loop ID after you restart the SM
			module. If the SM module cannot get the specified Loop ID during the loop initialization
			process, it will try to get a soft address.
CAPI LUN		Each SM module has one LUN that you can change when you configure the host channels.
		You only need to assign a CAPI LUN if you are using CAPI to configure the Galaxy 65
