FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 5.2.3 Termination Power (TRMPWR) Termination power must be supplied by at least one device on the SCSI bus; it is normally supplied by the host adapter. However, if you are unsure whether TRMPWR is available in your system, you can configure the FFD to supply TRMPWR. Note that several devices can supply TRMPWR without affecting overall system performance or causing damage to the drive (or any other device on the bus). If TRMPWR is not available in th

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 5.3 FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk Drive Installation The FFD can be installed in any mounting position in the system. Unlike rotating disks that have an axis of rotation, the FFD is not susceptible to damage due to orientation. Note: It is not necessary to perform a low-level format on the FFD. The drive is shipped low-level formatted and ready for use. 5.3.1 Installing the FFD in a PC If your SCSI host adapter is not installed in the system, follow the

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 6 Drive Parameters Most SCSI device drivers can automatically detect the total number of sectors on the FFD, using the READ CAPACITY command, and configure them accordingly. However, some older device drivers must obtain the drive geometry parameters manually. The physical drive parameters are only a convention, and have no effect on how data is stored on the FFD.

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About SCSI Q: What is SCSI? A: SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a general-purpose, parallel bus system. It originated with Shugart’s 1979’ SASI (Shugart Associates System Interface), and Shugart and NCR presented it to the ANSI in 1981. It became official in 1986, when the ANSI-committee X3T9.2 defined the SCSI-1 spec as Document X3.131-1986. SCSI is now an acknowledged and very well standardized multipur

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual Q: What is Plug-and-play (P&P) SCSI? A: Plug-and-play SCSI is an extension of the generic plug-and-play specification. P&P is an approach for defining an auto-configuring environment for ISA boards. One of the key features of P&P- SCSI is SCAM. Q: What is SCSI Configured AutoMagically (SCAM)? A: SCAM is a protocol for automatic SCSI ID assignment. It is included in the SCSI-3 parallel interface drafts. The SCAM master (typically the host adapter) scan
