Installing Your FlashPoint
2-8 FlashPoint™ LT BT-930 User’s Manual
Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the adapter’s SCSI connector and the
other end to the SCSI device as shown in Figure 2-5. Devices are attached in
a daisy chain configuration until a maximum is reached. The last device in
the daisy chain must be terminated. All intermediate devices should not be
terminated or should have termination disabled.
Be sure each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID assigned. Refer to “Setting
the SCSI Device ID” on page 2-2 below for more information about
assigning SCSI IDs.
A Note about SCSI BUS Termination
The FlashPoint adapter supports both internal and external devices. If more
than two SCSI devices are connected in a SCSI daisy chain (the FlashPoint
adapter card is considered one device in the chain), remove or disable the
terminator resistor pack on the middle devices.
• When attaching internal devices only, the last device in the chain must
be terminated. The FlashPoint adapter automatically terminates the
other end of the SCSI bus.
• When attaching external devices only, the last device in the chain must
be terminated. The FlashPoint adapter automatically terminates the
other end of the SCSI bus.
• Both internal and external devices can be attached to the same
FlashPoint adapter. The last device at each end of the SCSI bus (one
internal end and one external end) must be terminated. (See Figure 2-
6.)
The FlashPoint automatically disables its termination to ensure SCSI
bus integrity.
