Chapter 1 Description
Understanding Logical Element Addressing
belong to the System partition and are not reported to the
Cleaning slots
host. Cleaning slots are skipped (they are not given a logical element
address), so adding or removing a cleaning slot will renumber all of the
slots in a partition.
Generally, host software easily recognizes logical slot element addresses,
even when they change. The next time the host issues a READ ELEMENT
STATUS command, it will process the new number and recalculate all of
the slot addresses.
See Figure Figure 12 on page 38 for a simple example of element
addressing in a 14U library with a single partition.
