2.2.1 Before You Start
Before you start, look through the task list below to get an overall idea
of the steps to perform.

The SCSI host adapter acts on your computer’s behalf as the host to
your suite of SCSI peripherals. Each chain of SCSI peripheral devices
and their host adapter work together, and they are referred to as a SCSI
bus.
Each SCSI host adapter that you install can act as host for up to
15 peripheral devices (depending on the SCSI bus speed), not including
the adapter itself.
