GlossaryAppendix A GlossarySome terms used in the SAS/SATA industry are defined below. More information is available through theATTO Technology website (www.attotech.com), or the Storage Area Networking Industry Association(www.snia.org).TermDefinitionANSIAmerican National Standards InstituteAuto Negotiation Hardware senses and automatically responds depending on configurationBit Smallest unit of data a computer can process: a single binary digit with a value of either 0 or 1BusA collection of unbroken signal lines used to transmit information from one part of a computersystem to another; taps on the lines connect devices to the busByteAn ordered set of 8 bitsCPUCentral Processing Unit: the portion of the computer that actually performs computationsDevice Driver A program that allows a microprocessor to direct the operation of a peripheral deviceDMADirect Memory Access: a way to move data from a storage device directly to RAM without usingthe CPU’s resourcesDMA bus master Allows a peripheral to control the flow of data to and from system memory by block as opposed toallowing the processor to control the data by bytes (PIO or programmed I/O)HostA processor, usually a CPU and memory, which communicates with devices over an interfaceI2CI2C HeaderLEDParity CheckingPCIPHYPortPort AddressPort NumberSCSISEPSES(Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a multi-master serial single-ended computer bus that is used to attachlow-speed peripherals to a motherboard, backplane or embedded systemI2C header is a connector on the adapter used to connect an I2C cableLight-emitting diode: a type of diode that emits light when current passes through it; visible LEDsare used as indicator lights on all sorts of electronic devicesA method which verifies the accuracy of data transmitted over the SCSI bus by adding one bit inthe transfer to make the sum of all the bits either odd or even (for odd or even parity); an errormessage occurs if the sum is not correctPeripheral Component Interconnect. Allows peripherals to be connected directly to computermemory, bypassing the slower ISA and EISA bussesA physical connection between the adapter and a drive on the backplane. Each mini-SASconnector carries signals for four physAn access point in a deviceAlso port number; the address, assigned by the PCI bus, through which commands are sent to ahost adapter boardSee port addressSmall Computer Systems Interface: a processor-independent standard for system-level interfacebetween a computer and intelligent devices including hard disks, floppy disks, CD-ROM, printers,scanners, etc.SCSI Enclosure Process. A SEP is a device, typically a backplane, that is capable of executingSCSI SES commandsSCSI Enclosure Services. A SCSI specification that defines SCSI commands for controlling anenclosure. These commands include the capability to control LED indicators on an enclosurei ATTO Technology Inc. ATTO ExpressSAS Host & RAID Adapter Installation and Operation Manual
