  • Page 81: Understanding Scsi

    7.2 Understanding SCSI SCSI (pronounced .scuzzy.) stands for Small Computer Systems Inter- face. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices to a common SCSI bus. A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI interface installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices.

  • Page 82: Terminating The Scsi Bus

    • If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive con- nected to the SCSI bus, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you are booting.
