==SELF-CONFIGURING SSD MULTI-PROTOCOL SUPPORT IN HOST-LESS ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18206079 Titled 'SELF-CONFIGURING SSD MULTI-PROTOCOL SUPPORT IN HOST-LESS ENVIRONMENT'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a device that has the ability to configure itself. It has an interface that allows communication with a chassis and supports multiple transport protocols. The device also has a Vital Product Data (VPD) reading logic to read information from the chassis and a built-in self-configuration logic. This logic is responsible for configuring the interface to use a specific transport protocol and disabling other transport protocols based on the information obtained from the VPD.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A device that may configure itself is disclosed. The device may include an interface that may be used for communications with a chassis. The interface may support a plurality of transport protocols. The device may include a Vital Product Data (VPD) reading logic to read a VPD from the chassis and a built-in self-configuration logic to configure the interface to use one of the transport protocols and to disable alternative transport protocols, responsive to the VPD.
