This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the MAS series 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 MAS
 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 MAS disk driver facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk 
subsystems with large storage capacities. 
 
The data format can be changed from the format at factory shipment by re-initializing with the use's system.  
Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Specification.
