发明名称 Systems and method for monitoring information handling system interfaces through cables having plural links
摘要 A port width module operating in association with SAS controllers determines the operational state of communication across an SAS cable by comparing the number of links at opposing controllers that are capable of supporting communication with the number of links in DWord synchronization. For example, an information handling system capable of communication of four links at an SAS connector communicates in a normal state across two links where the opposing device is a switch that supports only two links at an SAS connector. An LED at the information handling system indicates normal operations with two links in DWord synchronization by receiving the port width of the opposing device, retrieving its own port width, and comparing the port widths with the number of links in DWord synchronization.
