Described is a storage system that operates with a diskless enclosure. The diskless enclosure comprises a communication port connected to an arbitrated loop, a plurality of storage ports each being connectable to a disk module, and port bypass control circuitry. The port bypass control circuitry includes retimer circuitry for retiming communication signals passing through the communication port to and from the arbitrated loop. The port bypass control circuitry forwards retimed communication signals to the arbitrated loop without any storage port of the plurality of storage ports having a disk module connected thereto.
