Compaq S5 manual Scsi cable

Glossary

SCSI cable

A 68-conductor (34 twisted pairs) cable used for differential bus connections.

single-ended SCSI bus

A bus in which each signal’s logic level is determined by the voltage of a single wire in relation to ground.

Small Computer System Interface

See SCSI.

StorageWorks

The Compaq set of enclosure products that allows customers to design and configure their own storage subsystem. Components include power, packaging, and interconnections in a StorageWorks shelf. SBBs and array controllers are integrated therein to form level enclosures to house the shelves. Standard mounting devices for SBBs are also included.

StorageWorks building block

See SBB.

target

A SCSI device that performs an operation requested by an initiator. Any device on the bus can be an initiator or a target.

target ID

See SCSI device ID.

termpower

Is an electrical current that is limited by self-resetting fuses.

UltraSCSI

Is an improvement in SCSI technology that was developed by the StorageWorks Engineering Group at Compaq Computer Corporation , and subsequently standardized by the ANSI SCSI committee (X3T10), which increases the maximum transfer rate on the SCSI bus from 10 MHz to 20 MHz (for a Wide SCSI bus this means an increase in maximum bus bandwidth from 20 MB/sec to 40 MB/sec).
