3、chnology Industry CouncilApproved November 30, 2011American National Standards Institute, Inc.AbstractThis standard specifies the functional requirements for the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) physical interconnect, which is compatible with the Serial ATA physical interconnect. The SAS Protocol Layer (S
4、PL) standard documents the SAS protocol layer corresponding to the Serial Attached SCSI - 2.1 (SAS-2.1) and beyond. Prior to this standard, the protocol layer was included with the physical layer. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with SCSI and ATA command set standards.Copyright A
