SCSI
bus
The collection of SCSI signal lines that interconnect SCSI devices and adapters.
SCSI ID
SCSI identification. The bit-significant representation of the SCSI address referring to one
of the bus signal lines DB (7 - 0,15 - 8).
See also SCSI address.
slot
The physical place in the back of the computer where an adapter plugs in.
Each slot has a
number, which in its hexidecimal form is used as part of the hardware address of the
device. See adapter slot
terminator
A device that contains a resistive network to terminate the peripheral end of a SCSI bus.
The peripheral end of the SCSI bus may not need a terminator if the last peripheral device
on the bus already contains SCSI termination resistors.
termination
To complete the bus circuitry at each end of a SCSI bus, the electrical lines (at each end
only) must be terminated with a resistive network. The HP-HSC Fast/Wide Differential
SCSI adapter contains termination resistor packs on the adapter and must be located at
one end of the SCSI bus. See also terminator.
