Termination Requirements



Termination Requirements

Both ends of the SCSI cable must be terminated. Install SCSI devices starting at the ends of the internal and external SCSI cables.

The SCSI device, at the end of the SCSI cable, should be terminated, otherwise a special connector, called a terminator, must be used to terminate the end of the SCSI cable.

If you have only internal SCSI devices connected to the internal SCSI connector and  the bulkhead cable has not been installed, the SCSI controller becomes the termination for the external SCSI connector.

If internal SCSI devices are attached to the SCSI controller, the last internal device on the bus (cable) must be terminated, and the termination must be disabled on the other devices connected to the SCSI connector. The SCSI bus on the system board is already terminated.

If you use the internal SCSI connector and  the external SCSI connector on the system board, both internal and external ends of the cable must be terminated.

Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI device for more information about termination.

Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI devices for information about setting a SCSI ID.

System board jumper J29 must also be jumpered as follows:
