The SCRIPTS processor allows users to fine tune SCSI operations with regard to unique vendor commands or new SCSI specifications. The SCRIPTS processor fetches SCRIPTS instructions from system memory to control processor operation.
| SDMS | Storage Device Management System. An LSI Logic software product that |
| manages SCSI system I/O. |
A hardware specification for connecting SCSI devices. It references each | |
SCSI | SCSI signal to a common ground. This is the most common method (as |
| opposed to differential SCSI which uses a separate ground for each |
| signal). |
| STA | SCSI Trade Association. A group of companies that cooperate to |
| promote SCSI parallel interface technology as a viable mainstream I/O |
| interconnect for commercial computing. |
| SureLINK | The domain validation method developed and used by LSI Logic. |
| SureLINK provides three levels of integrity checking: Basic (level 1), |
| Enhanced (level 2), and Margined (level 3). |
One of the ways data is transferred over the SCSI bus. Transfers are clocked with fixed frequency pulses. This is faster than asynchronous data transfer. Synchronous data transfers are negotiated between the SCSI host adapter and each SCSI device.
| System BIOS | Controls the |
| of the CPU and computer system. |
| TolerANT | A technology developed and used by LSI Logic to improve data integrity, |
| data transfer rates, and noise immunity through the use of active |
| negation and input signal filtering. |
| Ultra SCSI | A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to |
| 20 Mbytes/s over an |
| SCSI bus. SCSI Trade Association (STA) supports using the term “Ultra |
| SCSI” over the older term |
| Ultra2 SCSI | A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to |
| 40 Mbytes/s over an |
| |
| “Ultra2 SCSI” over the term |
