SSA RAID Adapter Installation and User's Guide.

Loops and Data Paths

If two or more disk drives are turned off, fail, or are removed from the loop, some disk drives might become isolated from the SSA adapter.

In the diagram, disk drives 3 and 7 have been removed. Disk drives 1 and 2 can communicate with the system only through connector A1 of the SSA adapter. Disk drive number 8 can communicate with the system only through connector A2 of the SSA adapter. Disk drives 4, 5, and 6 are isolated from the SSA adapter.
