SCSI addressing	A SCSI adapter supports up to 16 devices, including itself. Each device has its own unique
	SCSI address. The SCSI address of a device dictates the device’s priority when arbitrating for
	the SCSI bus. SCSI address “7” has the highest priority. The next highest priority address is
	“6” followed by 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, with “8” being the lowest
	priority address.
	The narrow SCSI adapter is factory set to address 7. A narrow SCSI adapter supports up to
	eight devices, including itself. SCSI address “7” has the highest priority followed by 6, 5, 4, 3,
	2, 1, and 0.
SCSI bus	The means of transferring SCSI data between SCSI devices. It is an 8-bit or 16-bit bus that
	supports up to eight or sixteen devices (including itself), in any mix of initiators and targets, with
	the limitation that at least one initiator and one target must be present.
SCSI device	A single unit on the SCSI bus, identifiable by a unique SCSI address. A SCSI device can act as
	an initiator or target. For SCSI-3, each SCSI device supports up to sixteen LUNs.
SCSI port	An opening at the back of the interface card providing connection between the SCSI adapter
	and the SCSI bus.
SCSI status	A menu name used to show the number of SCSI devices on the bus.
small formfactor	A physical component that manages the functions of the FC-0 layer, which is the physical
pluggable (SFP)	characteristic of the media and interface, including drivers, transceivers, connectors, and
	cables. Mounts on a FC adapter card and connects the interface card to a FC host.
shortwave	Lasers or LEDs that emit light with wavelengths around 780 nm or 850 nm. When using
	multimode fibre (50 nm), shortwave lasers can be used with FC links less than 500m. To
	achieve longer lengths, single-mode fibre is required. The preferred fibre core size is 50 micron
	as this fibre has large bandwidth so that the distance is limited by the fibre attenuation. A
	62.5 micron core size is also supported for compatibility with existing FDDI installations. Fibre
	of this type has smaller bandwidth and, in this case, the distance is limited by the fibre
	bandwidth.
speed	A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the speed (1063 Mbps) of the FC adapter.
switched fabric	A FC term describing a switched topology, which is one of the three existing FC topologies.
	Fabric elements interconnect various N_Ports or NL_Ports and are responsible for frame routing.
TCP	Transmission Control Protocol
target	A device (usually a peripheral) that responds to an operation requested by an initiator (usually
	a host system). Peripherals are targets, but for some commands (for example, a SCSI COPY
	command), the peripheral may need to act temporarily as an initiator.
terminator	An electrical connection at each end of the SCSI bus composed of a set of resistors (or possibly
block/termination	other components). Its function is to provide a pull-up for open collector drivers on the bus, and
	also impedance matching to prevent signal reflections at the ends of the cable.
	The SCSI bus requires termination at both ends of the bus. One end of the SCSI bus is
	terminated by the SCSI adapter’s internal termination. The other end should have a terminator
	placed on the SCSI connector on the last SCSI peripheral. If this device is not terminated, data
	errors may occur.
topology	The physical or logical layout of nodes on a network. FC topologies include Point-to-Point,
	FC-AL, and Fabric.
view node name	A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the identification of the node.
