On a parallel SCSI bus, a device (e.g. host adapter, disk drive) is identified by a "SCSI ID", which is a number in the range 0–7 on a narrow bus and in the range 0–15 on a wide bus. On earlier models a physical jumper or switch controls the SCSI ID of the initiator ( host adapter ).
SCSI hard drives showing 80-pin SCA connector (top), and separate 68-pin and power connectors plus configuration jumpers (bottom) SCSI backplane with 80-pin SCA connectors. Hard Drives are mounted on proprietary hot-swappable caddies. Single Connector Attachment, or SCA, is a type of connection for the internal cabling of Parallel SCSI systems ...
A SCSI backplane with SCA-2 connectors inside an enclosure (SAF-TE device not visible) Many RAID controllers can utilize a SAF-TE "activated" backplane by detecting a swapped drive (after a defect) and automatically starting a rebuild. A passive subsystem usually requires a manual rescan and rebuild.
SCSI disks became standard on servers and workstations. Commodore Amiga, and Apple Macintosh deployed SCSI drive through the mid-1990s, by which time most models had been transitioned to ATA (and later, SATA) family disks. Only in 2005 did the capacity of SCSI disks fall behind ATA disk technology, though the highest-performance disks are still ...
In computing, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a point-to-point serial protocol that moves data to and from computer-storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid-state drives and tape drives. SAS replaces the older Parallel SCSI (Parallel Small Computer System Interface, usually pronounced "scuzzy" [ 3 ] [ 4 ] ) bus technology that first ...
SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) is a protocol for more modern SCSI enclosure products. An initiator can communicate with the enclosure using a specialized set of SCSI commands to access power, cooling, and other non-data characteristics.
Diagrams of different Parallel SCSI symbols [1]. Parallel SCSI is not a single standard, but a suite of closely related standards. There are a dozen SCSI interface names, most with ambiguous wording (like Fast SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Ultra Wide SCSI); three SCSI standards, each of which has a collection of modular, optional features; several different connector types; and three ...
An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.
