The Advanced SerialRAID Adapters (type 4–P)
The Advanced SerialRAID Adapters (see Figure 1) are 40-MB-per-second Serial
Storage Architecture (SSA), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapters that
serve as the interface between systems that use PCI architecture and devices that use
SSA. These adapters provide support for two SSA loops. Each loop can contain a
maximum of eight pairs of adapter connectors and a maximum of 48 disk drives. See
also “Rules for SSA Loops” on page 22.
