•A maximum of 48 devices can be connected in a particular SSA loop.
•Only one pair of adapter connectors can be connected in a particular SSA loop.
•Member disk drives of an array can be on either SSA loop.
For SSA loops that include a Micro Channel Enhanced SSA
•Each SSA loop must be connected to a valid pair of connectors on the SSA adapter (that is, either Connectors A1 and A2, or Connectors B1 and B2).
•A maximum of eight adapters can be connected in a particular loop if none of the disk drives in the loops are array disk drives and none of them is configured for
•A maximum of two adapters can be connected in a particular loop if one or more of the disk drives in the loop are array disk drives that are not configured for
•Only one Micro Channel Enhanced SSA
•All member disk drives of an array must be on the same SSA loop.
•A maximum of 48 devices can be connected in a particular SSA loop.
•Only one pair of adapter connectors can be connected in a particular loop.
•When an SSA adapter is connected to two SSA loops, and each loop is connected to a second adapter, both adapters must be connected to both loops.
For the IBM
•There can be up to 48 disk drives per loop.
•There can be up to four IBM
