Understanding SCSI

SCSI

(pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer System

Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for

connecting SCSI devices (such as hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives,

and scanners) to a common SCSI bus.

SCSI bus

is an electrical pathway consisting of a SCSI adapter

(such as the SlimSCSI

Adapter) installed in a computer and one or

more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are used to connect the devices to the

SCSI card. For the SCSI bus to function properly, SCSI IDs must be

assigned to the SCSI devices and the SCSI adapter, and the SCSI bus

must be properly terminated.

SCSI IDs

Each device attached to the USBConnect 2000 adapter, as well as the

adapter itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to

6. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus

and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use

the SCSI bus at the same time.

■

The USBConnect 2000 adapter is preset to SCSI ID 7, which

gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.

■

In Windows

95/98 you can use the Device Manager to view

the SCSI ID and other information about each installed SCSI

device.

■

If you installed Adaptec EZ-SCSI

software, you can use the

SCSIExplorer™ utility to view the SCSI ID and other informa-

tion about each installed SCSI device.
