LCC
The 6-Gb/s SAS LCC supports, controls, and monitors the DAE, and is the primary
interconnect management element. Each LCC includes connectors for input and output to
downstream devices.
As described previously, the LCCs in a DAE connects to the SPE and other DAEs with
6-Gb/s SAS cables. The cables connect the LCCs in a system in a daisy-chain topology.
Internally, each DAE LCC connects to the drives in its enclosure in a point-to-point fashion
through a switch. The LCC independently receives and electrically terminates incoming
signals. For traffic from the system’s storage processors, the LCC switch passes the signal
from the input port to the drive being accessed; the switch then forwards the drive output
signal to the port.
