9. About SAF-TE(8982/8983)

SAF-TE is proposed and standardized by Conner and Intel. It

can work properly under standard SCSI adaptor and RAID

controller without other concerns.

Under SAF-TE standard, it is included by SCSI bus and allocated

a SCSI ID, it uses a SCSI chip and 8 bits of SCSI channel. Thus

the spending can be minimized.

Our company's EN8982 supports part of SAT-TE commands.

The objective of the SAF-TE Interface is to provide a standard,

non-proprietary way for third party disk and RAID controllers to

be automatically integrated with peripheral packaging that

supports status signals (LEDs, audible alarm, LCD, etc.), hot

swapping of hard drives, and monitoring of enclosure

components.

We have application software that can show HDD’s status, if

SCSI SEF-TE chipset detects any fault and status (like HDD be

drawn, low voltage, re- plug HDD). They will be displayed on

screen or the alarm will go off.
