| | Host adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The terms are primarily used to refer to devices for connecting Fibre Channel, eSATA, and SCSI devices (see SCSI host adapter), but devices for connecting to ESCON, Ethernet, and other systems may also be called host adapters. |
 | | The host adapter bridges the physical and logical chasm that separates the SCSI bus from the host computer's internal bus. |
 | | Modern host adapters contain all the electronics and firmware required to execute SCSI transactions, and often include a BIOS that not only allows the host system to boot from a SCSI device, but also facilitates configuration of the host adapter. |
