The VSC7161* contains all the functions needed to implement a SAS enterprise server or JBOD 
system. Typically, this device distributes SAS signals to an array of disk drives in either a server 
or an external enclosure. The embedded v3000 CPU serves as an SMP management 
application client and can provide enclosure management functions using a two-wire serial 
interface or vendor-specific SMP implementation. As the SMP management application client, 
the CPU (in Master mode) handles all SMP initiator requests and all SMP response functions.  
6.2.1.1 
Expander Management (EM) subsystem of SAS Expander 
The VSC7161* Serial Attached SCSI Expander embeds an Expander Management (EM) 
subsystem that implements SMP dual-function target and initiator ports for in-band, vendor-
unique enclosure management control. 
A 75 MHz v3000 CPU with 32 KB of zero wait-state internal SRAM is included in the Expander 
Management (EM) subsystem. An external flash ROM stores the code for the v3000 CPU. In 
Master mode HSBP adopts, the v3000 CPU provides all Enclosure Management services using 
the Vitesse* Software Development Kit (SDK).  
The v3000 CPU communicates with other devices in the enclosure through several two-wire 
serial interface ports, general purpose I/O, and LED drivers. It assembles enclosure status for 
transmission to the host controller through vendor-unique SMP frames or SSP frames for in-
band SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) or through a two-wire serial interface port. 
The figure below shows the architecture of Expander Management (EM) subsystem.
