SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines
The SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines determine drive address, and, optionally, for an Enclosure Services Inter-
face. When the Parallel ESI line is high, the enclosure backpanel must provide address information on the SEL 
line. Refer to table 24 for a mapping of SEL to FC-AL physical addresses (AL_PA). You can think of the SEL 
lines as the equivalent of a backpanel logic plug. The drives does not provide pull up resistors on these lines. 
The backpanel is required to provide high and low inputs to the SEL_ID lines per the specifications in table 26
on page 65
Note. 
Table 24 gives AL_PA values for each SEL value. The first entry in the table is SEL_ID 00. The last entry is SEL_ID 
7D. SEL_ID 7E is AL_PA 00 which is not valid for an NL_Port, so is not included in the table. Also, SEL_ID 7Fh 
does map to a valid AL_PA; however, this value signals the drive that physical addresses are not being assigned 
using the SEL lines and that a “soft” address will be determined by FC-AL loop initialization.
When the Parallel ESI line is low, the enclosure backpanel logic switches to ESI mode if supported. There are 
two modes of ESI, seven bits of enclosure status and a bidirectional mode. ESI support and the mode are 
determined by the drive using a discovery process. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a descrip-
tion of ESI operation.
9.5.11.1
Parallel Enclosure Services Interface (ESI)
The parallel ESI line is an output from the drive. This line provides the enclosure with an indication of the pres-
ent function of the SEL lines. A high level, the default state, indicates the drive requires address information on 
the SEL lines. A low level indicates the drive is attempting an ESI transfer. The enclosure may not support ESI 
on any or all drive locations. It may only support the address function. Support of ESI is discovered by the 
drive. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a description of ESI operations.
