TIP: This message will error out if the Control Timeout value is not
changed from a non-zero value. See
page 4-25 for writing a value to the
Control Timeout.
TIP: If the controller is controlling more than one drive, it is recommended
to intersperse the control I/O messaging for each drive to conserve network
bandwidth and decrease response time. That is, sequence the message
instructions for each drive so that its group of messages will occur at a
different time than those for another drive.
