View source for SELF-CONFIGURING SSD MULTI-PROTOCOL SUPPORT IN HOST-LESS ENVIRONMENT: abstract simplified (18206079)

*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 is capable of configuring itself. The device has an interface that allows it to communicate with a chassis and supports multiple transport protocols. It also has a Vital Product Data (VPD) reading logic, which reads information from the chassis, and a built-in self-configuration logic. Based on the VPD, the device can automatically configure its interface to use a specific transport protocol and disable other alternative protocols.


==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.
