Glossary theory, any SCSI device can be plugged into any SCSI controller. See also HBA (host bus adapter). SCSI adapter A SCSI adapter is a 16-bit fast/wide or 8-bit narrow, single-ended or differential physical connection between a router and SCSI devices. Each SCSI adapter supports up to 16 (fast/wide) or 8 (narrow) SCSI devices, including itself. SCSI bus A SCSI bus provides a means of transferring data between SCSI devices. A SCSI bus is either an 8- or 16-bit bus that supports up to 8 or 16 devices, including itself. The bus can consist of any mix of initiators and targets, with the requirement that at least one initiator and one target must be present. SCSI device A SCSI device is a single unit on a SCSI bus that originates or services SCSI commands. A SCSI device is identified by a unique SCSI address. SCSI devices can act as initiators or targets. SCSI port A SCSI port is an opening at the back of a router that provides connection between the SCSI adapter and SCSI bus. slot A receptacle in an enclosure for inserting and removing a SCSI device. spin-up Disk drives operate at a specific speed, for instance 10,000 rotations per minute. When power is applied to a disk drive, it spins up (starts spinning and spins at increasing speeds) to reach this final operating speed. stand-alone Stand-alone mode is when only one controller is used in an external subsystem. U unkill In active-active mode, when a surviving controller removes the reset from the other controller, it unkills it. The other controller will reboot and attempt to come online. Glossary-5
