SCSI Guidelines

The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an industry standard for connecting
peripherals to personal computers. SCSI guidelines define how to connect more than
one SCSI device to the same SCSI connection (either built-in or from a SCSI host
adapter).

A SCSI chain is a series of SCSI devices cabled one to another on a single SCSI
connection. When using Ultra SCSI, it is important to use only shorter, premium
quality data cables for any drives connected to the Buz card.
Ensure the combined length (external and internal) of a SCSI chain using Ultra SCSI
does not exceed l.5 meters (about 5 feet).

The Buz card is factory set at SCSI ID 7 with automatic termination and provides
termination power to the bus. For detailed installation information, consult your SCSI
device’s installation manual.

Ultra SCSI Configuration

The Buz adapter card is shipped with the Ultra SCSI function turned on.

Refer to the Iomega Tools folder located in the Iomega Buz folder on your hard drive
for software utilities and information about your Iomega Jaz or Zip

drive.
