SCSI Configuration Guidelines
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an ANSI standard for
connecting computers and peripheral devices. HP Series 700 and 800
computers support three implementations of SCSI-2, as shown in Table
3-10, “Types of SCSI and Characteristics.”
Table 3-11, “SCSI Configuration Requirements,” lists HP SCSI cards, the
architecture on which they are supported, and the configuration
requirements of the cards and attached SCSI devices.
