dedicated loop or shared with a disk loop and is firmware selectable.

Up to two 5251F6 controllers may be installed into the enclosure. All of the I/O

and power connections are made at the rear of the unit. Additionally, the controller

can be removed from the rear of the unit and the power supplies and blowers may
