Termination (Internal SCSI Devices) (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)

Termination (Internal SCSI Devices)

The devices at both ends of the SCSI bus must be terminated. If you attach SCSI devices (internal or external), you must terminate the last device in the chain.

NOTE: All the hot-swap drives in the server have automatic termination.

If you install SCSI devices in the removable-media bays, you must terminate the last device on the bus (cable) and disable the termination on the other devices connected to the internal SCSI controller. The SCSI controller is already terminated.

For example, when you install the first SCSI device in a removable-media bay, set its termination to Enable and install the device in bay 4 (the bottom bay). Then, when you install additional SCSI devices in removable-media bays 1, 2, and 3, set their termination to Disable.

Refer to the information that come with the SCSI device tor instructions about setting device jumpers or switches that control termination.
