2.1.8 Step 8. Installing the SCSI Terminator
Make sure to install a terminator on the last device in the configuration.
To install the SCSI terminator, do the following:
Align the SCSI terminator with the appropriate connector, push in until the terminator is seated, and tighten the thumbscrews finger
tight.
If the 7208 Tape Drive is the only SCSI device attached to the system, install the terminator on one of the connectors of the 7208
Tape Drive (see Figure 5).

Notes:
1. The terminator and the SCSI bus cable can be connected to either the top or bottom SCSI connector on the 7208 Tape Drive.
2. Only one external terminator is required to terminate the SCSI bus. You do not need to use the terminator shipped with the 7208 Tape
Drive if a terminator has been previously installed.
