Lun Addressing; Transfer Rates On The Bus - HP Surestore 5200ex - Optical Disk Drives User Manual

Operating This Drive on a SCSI Bus
A Brief Overview of SCSI
an ID greater than 7, would always assume it won the contention and would attempt
to talk, perhaps at the same time as a device with an ID above 7 that was contending
for the bus. The following diagram shows the priority scale of IDs when the priority
of the two blocks of eight are reversed.
Priority
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Addresses
Wide Address Range
The diagram below shows the linear addressing of a simple, narrow bus with the
host adapter set at a SCSI ID of 7. The device ID does not determine where the
device is physically placed on the bus.

LUN Addressing

This drive does not support logical unit numbering (LUN) addressing

Transfer Rates on the Bus

Initially, the SCSI specification defined a 5 MB/s synchronous data transfer rate on
the narrow bus. SCSI now also defines "Fast" which is 10 MB/s on a narrow bus and
20 MB/s on a wide bus. Another definition is "Ultra," also known as "Fast-20"
which is 20 MB/s transfer rate on a narrow bus and 40 MB/s on a wide bus.
