Increasing the Speed Limit With Ultra SCSI

Your HP Vectra XU PC integrates an advanced SCSI controller for
connecting mass storage devices. This SCSI controller provides a high-
capability SCSI channel with two connections: one on your PC's system
board for connecting internal SCSI devices; and one on your PC's rear
panel for connecting external SCSI devices.
The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) standard offers the
highest level of peripheral connectivity available to a PC. The SCSI
channel in your PC can connect up to seven mass storage devices, both
internal and external. Up to five of these devices can be installed inside
your PC.
The SCSI standard is highly flexible, enabling devices of different types
and capabilities to be connected on the same channel. Communication
between the SCSI controller and a SCSI device is based on a request-
acknowledge protocol ("handshaking"), with each device (including
the controller) having a SCSI address for identification.
