have endorsed the SAF-TE specification. Products compliant with the SAF-
TE specification will reduce the cost of managing storage enclosures,
making it easier for a LAN administrator to obtain base-level fault-tolerant
alert notification and status information. All Mylex RAID controllers feature
SAF-TE.

SCA
Single Connector Attachment, a type of interface designed to provide a
standard connection, such as connection pins for power cables and data
wires, for systems using hot swappable drives. It includes data channel,
power, and ID configuration all in one connector. SCA drives connect to a
SCSI backplane that provides power and configuration settings, such as
SCSI IDE (integrated drive electronics), and termination of the SCSI bus.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface, a technological standard that defines
connections between computers and peripheral devices.
SCSI Adapters
Storage controllers for managing SCSI devices.
SCSI Drive
A disk drive equipped with a SCSI interface (sometimes referred to as a
SCSI Disk). Each disk drive will be assigned a SCSI address (or SCSI ID),
which is a number from 0 to 7 (0 to 15 under wide or Ultra SCSI). The SCSI
address uniquely identifies the drive on the SCSI bus or channel.
SCSI Drive States
Refers to a SCSI drive’s current operational status. At any given time, a SCSI
drive can be in one of five states: Ready, Online, Standby, Dead, or Rebuild.
The controller stores the state of the attached SCSI drives in its non-volatile
