Chapter 1 Scsi Bus; System Configuration - Fujitsu MBA3073 SERIES Technical Manual

CHAPTER 1
This chapter describes the configuration, physical and electrical characteristics, interface protocol, and
operations of SCSI buses.
Note:
The HDD operates as a target (TARG) on the SCSI bus. The HDD is called "TARG" in this
chapter except when clear identification is required.

System Configuration

Up to 16-bit SCSI series models can be connected to the system via the SCSI bus. Figure 1.1
gives an example of multi-host system configuration.
Each SCSI device operates as an initiator (INIT) or a target (TARG). Only a single INIT and a
single TARG selected by this INIT can operate simultaneously on the SCSI bus.
The system configuration allows any combination of a SCSI device to operate as the INIT and a
SCSI device to operate as the TARG. Also, any device having both the INIT and TARG
functions can be used on the SCSI bus.
Each SCSI device is assigned a unique address (or SCSI ID). The SCSI ID corresponds to a bit
number of the SCSI data bus. While the INIT uses a logical unit number (LUN) to select an I/O
unit to be connected under TARG control.
