SCSI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3247 words) |
 | SCSI stands for "Small Computer System Interface", and is a standard interface and command set for transferring data between devices on both internal and external computer buses. |
 | This change divorces SCSI's various interfaces from the command set, allowing devices that support SCSI commands to use any interface (including ones not otherwise specified by T10), and also allowing the interfaces that are defined by T10 to develop on their own terms. |
 | A SCSI enclosure without a backplane often has a switch for each drive in the enclosure to choose the drive's SCSI ID. The way this works is that the enclosure has a connector that you plug into the drive where jumpers are supposed to go; the switch emulates the necessary jumpers. |
| RFC 4455 (6779 words) |
 | SCSI is a client-server protocol in which application clients within a SCSI initiator device (client) issue service requests to logical units contained in a SCSI target device(server). |
 | SCSI Port A SCSI port is a device-resident entity that connects the application client, device server, or task manager to the service delivery subsystem through which requests and responses are routed. |
 | SCSI Initiator Port A SCSI initiator port acts as the connection between application clients and the service delivery subsystem through which requests and responses are routed. |
