SCSI terminators and cables
To ensure reliable communication, it is important to use high-quality cables and
terminators (called terminating resistors). Enable the terminator on the SCSI device
on each end of the SCSI bus, and disable the terminators on the other SCSI devices.

Termination of SCSI card
Terminator of SCSI card is set using the SCSISelect utility. The default setting is
｢Automatic｣, which sets termination automatically. We recommend that you leave
the terminator set to the default ｢Automatic｣ setting.
Note
Since this card places a restriction on the SCSI connectors that can be used
by SERVER, refer to the documentation of the SERVER before connecting
the SCSI connector.
■
Termination of SCSI device
To determine whether to terminate SCSI devices, refer to that SCSI device's
documentation. Most internal SCSI devices have their termination set by jumpers or
switches. In some internal SCSI devices, you cannot set the terminator without
mounting or removing any resistor modules.
■
SCSI cables
Since the cables that connect the SCSI devices are important components in ensuring
stable operation, be sure to use Fujitsu products.
