Introduction to SCSI
SCSI (pronounced scuzzy) devices are peripherals like hard drives, CD-
ROMs, scanners, etc. that exchange information with the computer using
a specific set of rules.
A SCSI device communicates with the computer through a SCSI card (or a
SCSI controller on the motherboard). There can be up to seven
attached to a single card forming a SCSI chain. Depending on the type of
SCSI card the devices can be external, internal, or both.
Here is an example of a chain:
1. SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface
2. 15 devices for SCSI Wide controllers
