Chapter 1 Description
Understanding Logical Element Addressing
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 37
Cleaning slots
belong to the System partition and are not reported to the
host. Cleaning slots are skipped (they are not given a logical element
address), so adding or removing a cleaning slot will renumber all of the
slots in a partition.
Generally, host software easily recognizes logical slot element addresses,
even when they change. The next time the host issues a READ ELEMENT
STATUS command, it will process the new number and recalculate all of
the slot addresses.
See Figure Figure 12
on page 38 for a simple example of element
addressing in a 14U library with a single partition.
