IBM 32H3816 Network Card User Manual


 
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.
