Integrated SSP Engine for in-band SES
Two multimaster two-wire serial interfaces
Flexible General Purpose I/O for LEDs, Fan Tach, and other functions
The VSC7161* contains all the functions needed to implement a SAS enterprise server or JBOD
system. Typically, this device distributes SAS signals to an array of disk drives in either a server
or an external enclosure. The embedded v3000 CPU serves as an SMP management
application client and can provide enclosure management functions using a two-wire serial
