Overview
Ultra160 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card
29160LP
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160LP supports Ultra160 SCSI devices.
Ultra160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that expands SCSI
performance.
This
User’s Reference
provides information about troubleshooting,
SCSI termination, and other important topics. It also explains how to

Understanding SCSI
SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer Systems
Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for
connecting SCSI devices to a common SCSI bus.
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI adapter
