CHAPTER 1
General Description
This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the 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 MAN-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 MAN disk driver facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk
subsystems with large storage capacities.
The data format can be changed to a format different than the default one by re-initializing the data format on
a user system. For more information, refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Specification.
