12.10.5 Changing the Maximum PHY Link Rate Settings

The Maximum PHY Link Rate displays the maximum link speed between the controller and the drives connected to the connector. All the connectors can have different link speeds or can have the same link speed. This setting allows to change the PHY link rate of the connector on Adaptec Smart Storage Controller. The supported PHY link rates are 6 Gbps, 12 Gbps and 24 Gbps.
Note: The PHY link rates will be displayed only if they are supported by the controller.
To change the maximum PHY link rate settings from the controller level:
  1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller.
  2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Set Properties.

    The Set Properties window opens.

  3. Click the Maximum Phy Link Rate on the Connector tab. Set the maximum PHY link rate setting for each connector to 6 Gbps, 12 Gbps, or 24 Gbps from the drop-down list. To change the maximum PHY link rate setting for all connectors, select the desired maximum PHY link rate from the All Connectors drop-down list.
  4. Click OK.
