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 hard disk drives (HDDs).
The drives are high performance large capacity 3.5" type hard disk drives with an embedded Fibre-Channel
controller.
The interface used to connect the 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 the HDDs 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 Chapter 6 “Disc Media Management” of the Fibre Channel Interface Specification for details.
