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

page A-3
