Figure 1.	Functional scope of SCSI1 standards

Common Access Method (CAM)

The functional areas define the scope of each standard as follows:

•SCSI Architecture Model: Defines the SCSI systems model, the functional partitioning of the SCSI standard set and requirements applicable to all SCSI implementations and implementation standards.

•Commands: Implementation standards which define classes including a device model for each class. These standards specify the required commands and behavior that is common to all devices or unique to a given class of devices and prescribe the rules to be followed by a SCSI initiator port when sending commands to a device.

•Common Access Method: Implementation standard which defines a host architecture and set of services for device access.

•Protocols: Implementation standards which define the rules for exchanging information so that different SCSI devices can communicate.

•Interconnects: Implementation standards which define the electrical and signaling rules essential for devices to interoperate over a given physical interconnect.

1The diagram of Figure 1 shows how the standards listed below fit within each category. The standards included in the diagram are meant to serve as examples and may not reflect the full set of standards currently in force.
