2.1 Preparing for the Installation
If you want to connect your FASTORA DAS-315SA DAS to the computer using
a SCSI adapter, install the adapter(s) in an available slot in the computer prior
to beginning FASTORA
DAS-315SA installation. See your operating system
manuals for the configuration procedures for the host bus adapter.
2.1.1 Terminating Disk Drive Channels
All SCSI buses must be terminated at each end. Termination absorbs electrical
signals and prevents those signals from bouncing back along the bus and
causing interference.
The SCSI drive channels of FASTORA DAS-315SA have been terminated
inside the chassis on the back plane.
There is no need to terminate the disk
drives!
