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 2906) 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, you must assign unique SCSI
IDs to each SCSI device, and you must correctly terminate the SCSI
bus. For information on terminating the SCSI bus, refer to
Terminating the SCSI Bus
