In this Appendix
Understanding SCSI
SCSI
(pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer System
Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for
connecting SCSI devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM
drive, or scanner) to a common SCSI bus.
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI card (such
as the SCSI Card 2930CU) installed in a computer and one or more
SCSI devices. SCSI cables are used to connect the devices to the SCSI
card
.
For the SCSI bus to function properly, each SCSI device must have a
unique SCSI ID and must be correctly terminated. For more information,
see the next section (
SCSI IDs
) and
Terminating the SCSI Bus
on
page A-3
