People sometimes refer to a SCSI port identifier as the SAS address of a device, out of confusion. People sometimes call a SAS address a World Wide Name or WWN, because it is essentially the same thing as a WWN in Fibre Channel. For a SAS expander device, the SCSI port identifier and SCSI device name are the same SAS address.
The SGPIO bus consists of 4 electrical signals. It originates (or is driven by) an initiator, typically a host bus adapter or SAS (Serial_Attached_SCSI) Expander, and arrives at a target, typically a backplane.
A very-high-density cable interconnect (VHDCI) is a 68-pin connector that was introduced in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3. [1] The VHDCI connector is a very small connector that allows placement of four wide SCSI connectors on the back of a single PCI card slot. Physically, it looks like a miniature Centronics type connector. It uses the regular ...
SCSI-1 card with an external Centronics port which requires a terminator, from an Acorn computer. Old Macintosh DB-25 SCSI port (narrow) Apple used DB-25 connectors, which, having only 25 pins rather than 50, were smaller and less expensive to make, but decreased signal integrity (increasing crosstalk ) [ citation needed ] and cannot be used ...
The SCSI command architecture was originally defined for parallel SCSI buses but has been carried forward with minimal change for use with iSCSI and serial SCSI. Other technologies which use the SCSI command set include the ATA Packet Interface , USB Mass Storage class and FireWire SBP-2 .
A SCSI domain consists of at least one SCSI device, at least one SCSI target and at least one SCSI initiator interconnected by a service delivery subsystem. A SCSI device has one or more SCSI ports , and a SCSI port may have an optional SCSI port identifier (SCSI ID or PID ).
This overall approach is called SCSI attached enclosure services: The host computer communicates with the disks in the enclosure via a Serial SCSI interface (which may be either FC-AL or SAS). One of the disk devices located in the enclosure is set up to allow SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) communication through a LUN. The disk-drive then ...
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 ...
