functional requirements for a small computer system
bus.
Secondary storage devices are typically tape drives,
used to back up and archive data stored on the system
disks (see Primary Storage). Secondary storage is
also used to log transactions, interchange data, and
distribute software. Secondary storage devices always
use removable media.
Every time the mass storage system is powered on, each
internal device performs a self-test. Various internal
pre-programmed tests are attempted, and their status
is returned via front panel indicators as to whether the
self-test passed or failed. The self-test is only performed
when the mass storage system is powered on.
The mass storage system contains four slots, which are
available spaces for internal components to be mounted.
The power supply always takes up one slot, so there are
three remaining slots for peripherals such as hard disk
drives.
The back panel of your mass storage system has two
SCSI connectors, which form a loop through the mass
storage system, connecting to each internal SCSI device.
If
the mass storage system is the last (or only) device
on the SCSI bus, it must have its unused (second) SCSI
connector plugged with a SCSI bus terminator.
