Hello Rachid,
Thank you very much for your reply. In this case, the EUT is the disk drive,
which is connected to SCSI Adapter through the SCSI interface. The 64-bit
interface is strictly between the PC and the SCSI Adapter, and does not affect
the transfer rate between Adapter and the disk drive. The only benefit of
using 64-bit interface is to sustain the data rate when connected to a large
number of disk drives. I would assume that as long as I am transferring data
between Adapter and the disk drive at the maximum transfer rate, the type of
interface between Adapter and PC (both of which are already agency approved)
should not matter.

Hello Ajmani,
In most cases the standard would like the worst case to be tested, so my
advice would be to test the 64 bits.

Subject: Compliance test configuration
Hi EMC Experts,
I want to test a U320 SCSI disk drive for agency compliance. All the U320
SCSI Host Bus Adapters require 64-bit PCI slot, although they will also work
in the 32-bit slot.
My question is do I have to use a PC with 64-bit PCI bus for my testing (these
PCs are hard to come by), or can I use a PC with 32-bit PCI bus.
I will appreciate your advice in helping me decide this.
