The electrical connection required at each end of the SCSI bus, composed of active voltage regulation and a set of termination resistors. Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, and Ultra320 SCSI require active termination.
| BIOS | Basic Input/Output System. Software that provides basic read/write |
| capability. Usually kept as firmware |
| the mainboard of a computer boots and controls the system. The SCSI |
| BIOS on the host adapter acts as an extension of the system BIOS. |
| Configuration | Refers to the way a computer is set up; the combined hardware |
| components (computer, monitor, keyboard, and peripheral devices) that |
| make up a computer system; or the software settings that allow the |
| hardware components to communicate with each other. |
A program that allows a microprocessor (through the operating system) to direct the operation of a peripheral device, such as a disk drive.
A software procedure in which a host queries a device to determine its ability to communicate at the negotiated data rate.
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A memory chip that typically stores configuration information.
A SCSI device installed outside the computer cabinet. These devices are connected together using specific types of shielded cables.
