Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 90 How Do SAS De vices Communicat e? SAS devices comm unicate with each other thr ough links. A link is a ph ysical connectio n between tw o ph ys. As sho wn in the following figure, SAS dev ices contain ports (see page 91 ), por ts contain phys , and each ph y contains one transmitter and one r eceiv er—one tr[...]

Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 91 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the ph ysical link between SAS de vices is from ph y to ph y , rather than por t to por t, a “por t” is more of a vir tual concept, di fferent from what is normally considered a por t on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices. A port is one or more ph ys. A n[...]

Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 92 How are Disk Driv es Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management u tilities (see Ident ify ing Disk Dr ives on page 114 ), disk drives ar e identified in the follo wing formats: ● C N X : D e v Y = D e v ic e Y i s a t t a c h e d to C o n n e c t o r X ( s e e Dir ect -at tac h C onn ecti ons below[...]
