1.2 What is SCSI?
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is an industry standard used to connect peripherals to your computer through a
standard hardware interface, using standard SCSI commands. Currently, there are three generations of the
SCSI interface: SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3, which is made up of at least 14 separate standards documents.
For a more detailed discussion of SCSI, please refer to 5. Technical Information and 8. Appendix – SCSI Questions and
Answers.
