CHAPTER 1 General Description
1.1 Standard Features
1.2 Hardware Structure
1.3 System Configuration
This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the MAP series intelligent disk drives (IDD).
IDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5 type fixed disk drives with an embedded Fibre-Channel
controller.
The interface used to connect the MAP-series disk drives to the host system complies with NCITS TR-19
Fibre Channel Private Loop SCSI Direct Attach (FC-PLDA), which is the Fibre Channel PLDA standard
covering items ranging from Fibre Channel physical layers to SCSI command protocols.
The high-speed data transfer and long-distance transmission capabilities of Fibre Channel technology and the
powerful command set of the MAP disk driver facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk
subsystems with large storage capacities.
The data format can be changed from the format at factory shipment by re-initializing with the use's system.
Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Specification.
