Appendix 27 Appendix A SCSI (pronounced “ scuzzy ” ) stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or scanner) to a common SCSI bus.
28 Appendix Appendix A • If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive connected to the ASUS LS99 SCSI Card, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0.
Appendix 29 Appendix A Using SCSI Devices Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives • If you connect a SCSI hard disk drive to the ASUS LS99 SCSI card that was previously connected to a dif ferent SCSI card, you must low-level format the drive before you can use it.

Glossary 31 Glossary G Glossary Addr ess - A specific location in memory , designated either numerically or by a symbolic name. Asynchr onous Data T ransfer - A method of transmission which does not require a common clock, but separates fields of data by stop and start bits.
32 Glossary Glossary EISA - Extended Industry Standard Architecture. An extension of the 16-bit ISA bus standard. It allows devices to perform 32-bit data transfers. External SCSI Device - A SCSI device installed outside the computer cabinet. These devices are connected in a continuous chain using specific types of shielded cables.
Glossary 33 Glossary NVRAM - Non V olatile Random Access Memory . Actually an EEPROM (Electronically- Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chip) used to store configuration information. See EEPROM. Operating System - A program that organizes the internal activities of the computer and its peripheral devices.
34 Glossary Glossary SCSI ID - A way to uniquely identify each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. Each SCSI bus has eight available SCSI IDs numbered 0 through 7 (or 0 through 15 for W ide SCSI). The host adapter usually gets ID 7 giving it priority to control the bus.
