Domain	Domain Validation is a software procedure in which a host queries a
Validation	device to determine its ability to communicate at the negotiated Ultra160
	data rate.
Double	In Double Transition (DT) Clocking, data is sampled on both the asserting
Transition	and deasserting edge of the REQ/ACK signal. DT clocking may only be
Clocking	implemented on an LVD SCSI bus.
EEPROM	Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A memory
	chip typically used to store configuration information. See NVRAM.
External SCSI	A SCSI device installed outside the computer cabinet. These devices are
Device	connected in a continuous chain using specific types of shielded cables.
Host	The computer system in which a SCSI host adapter is installed. It uses
	the SCSI host adapter to transfer information to and from devices
	attached to the SCSI bus.
Host Adapter	A circuit board or integrated circuit that provides a SCSI bus connection
	to the computer system.
Internal SCSI	A SCSI device installed inside the computer cabinet. These devices are
Device	connected in a continuous chain using an unshielded ribbon cable.
Local Bus	A way to connect peripherals directly to computer memory. It bypasses
	the slower ISA and EISA buses. PCI is a local bus standard.
Mainboard	A large circuit board that holds RAM, ROM, the microprocessor, custom
	integrated circuits, and other components that make a computer work. It
	also has expansion slots for host adapters and other expansion boards.
Main Memory	The part of a computer’s memory which is directly accessible by the CPU
	(usually synonymous with RAM).
NVRAM	NonVolatile Random Access Memory. Actually an EEPROM
	(Electronically Erasable Read Only Memory chip) used to store
	configuration information. See EEPROM.
PCI	Peripheral Component Interconnect. A local bus specification that allows
	connection of peripherals directly to computer memory. It bypasses the
	slower ISA and EISA buses.
