1.2 What is SCSI?

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is an industry standard used to connect peripherals to your computer through a standard hardware interface, using standard SCSI commands. Currently, there are three generations of the

SCSI interface: SCSI (SCSI-1), SCSI-2 (SCSI wide, and SCSI fast and wide), and SCSI-3, which is made up of at least 14 separate standards documents.

For a more detailed discussion of SCSI, please refer to chapters 5 (Technical Information) and 8 (Appendix – SCSI Questions and Answers).

The SCSI Icon

This icon will help you easily identify the SCSI interface. It appears on some SCSI cables and next to the SCSI port connectors on certain computers.
