1 SCSI is a key technology for storage
Ultra320 SCSI represents the seventh generation of SCSI technology, an I/O interface that increases
performance while maintaining backward compatibility and legacy support.
From its roots in 5 MB/sec. transfer rates, SCSI
has evolved as the leading interface for disk drive
connections in high performance servers. It
features maximum data transfer rates of 320
MB/second, full backward compatibility with
older versions of SCSI protocols and additional
features to improve performance and reliability.
Ultra320 is a powerful storage technology. All
forms of digital content, from e-mail, video, film,
and audio, to streaming video, and imaging, are
Exhibit 1-1 How SCSI has evolved.

ANSI
American National Standards Institute
Asynchronous
AIP: although most Ultra320traffic is sent synchronously and protected by CRC, some
Information
information is still sent asynchronously. AIP implements CRC-level error checking on
Protection
asynchronous traffic ensuring end-to-end data integrity.
bit
Smallest unit of data a computer can process: a single binary digit with a value of either 0 or 1
byte
an ordered set of 8 bits
CRC
Cyclic Redundancy Checking, an error-correcting code which calculates a numeric value for
received and transmitted data. If no error has occurred during transmission, the CRC for both
received and transmitted data should be the same.
destination address
A value in the frame header of each frame which identifies the port in the node where the
frame is being sent
domain validation
Before sending data, domain validation verifies that the physical connection is capable of
handling the negotiated transfer speed. If the system determines that Ultra320speeds are not
feasible, a slower speed is enforced.

driving the unprecedented growth in storage that
pushes the I/O bandwidth, requiring more
advanced interfaces to handle data transfer.
SCSI advantages
• Backward compatible with older versions of
SCSI. Newer adapters will negotiate to the
lower speeds of legacy devices.
• Minimal investment to upgrade technology.
Older equipment may still be used with newer
equipment. Upgrade does not require
replacement of infrastructure.
