Synopsis

There are over 20 published or draft standards for Fibre Channel, and the information is not correlated well between them. The Fibre Channel Bench Reference extracts the most relevant information and packs it into a compact ready-reference guide.

* FC-0 Connectors, Cables and Transceivers
* FC-1 8B/10B Encoding, including a complete set of translation tables
* FC-2 Protocol
* FC-AL (Arbitrated Loop)
* SCSI-3 FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol)

The information required to implement the PLDA (Private Loop Device Attach) profile for storage devices and other mainstream applications is specifically covered.

The spiral bound Lab Manual (ISBN 1-879936-17-8) lays flat. Its compact 8" x 8.5" size makes it a convenient companion, be it on a desk, a lab bench or in a briefcase. Tabs separate the major sections so users can turn straight to the subject wanted, and like the cover, they are mylar reinforced. The Paperback (ISBN 1-879936-31-5) comes witho! ut tabs and mylar reinforcement. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

About the Author

Author Jeffrey D. Stai was present when the ASC (Accredited Standards Committee) for SCSI was first formed and remained active as a principal representative for several years, until he switched to the ASC for Fibre Channel. He has designed disk controller hardware, controller firmware and chips, and wishes the SCSI Encyclopedia and the SCSI Bench Reference had been available years ago. In the absence of someone else providing such tools, he was persuaded to become an author so that others could benefit from his experience.
