Chapter 1 Introduction28 Storage Center SC8000 Controller Deployment GuideEN-SASx6x12/24 SBB Module Features and IndicatorsSAS enclosures include two Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) IO modules in two SBB‐compliantinterface slots. Each SBB IO Module includes an EEPROM that holds data describing thefunction and capability of the SBB module. Each SBB module can discover the type andcapabilities of its partner SBB module within the enclosure. Incompatible configurationsresult in an enclosure system alarm.Each port has four separately arbitrated physical lanes. A green LED indicates the status ofeach lane. The IO Module and Fault indicators provide status as described below.Figure 27.
