THE ULTRA WIDE SCSI CONTROLLER
mentation of the device to disable the passive termination, or ask your local dealer or service cen-
ter for advice if you are unsure about the SCSI termination settings on your SCSI devices.
Please also make sure that an active termination is installed when you are using external SCSI
devices, e.g. by use of an external active termination plug.
ATTENTION!
It is absolutely necessary that the SCSI bus is correctly actively terminated to provide safe
and error-free operation. A wrong terrmination or the use of pasive terminators may result in
data transmission errors or wrong recognition of SCSI devices connected to the SCSI bus, or
in the worst case cause data losses on storage devices connected to the SCSI bus. Please
always make sure that the termination is installed correctly following the instructions in this
manual, and always avoid using any passive terminators in the SCSI chain connected to the
CYBERSTORM MKIII SCSI controller.
SCSI TERMINATION (EXAMPLES)
Operation with an internal WIDE SCSI unit
Attention has to be paid that the termination is active on the hard disk. For the connection of the
hard disk use the plug at the end of the internal SCSI-cable. An active terminator pack has to be
connected to the other end of the cable. The CYBERSTORM MKIII SCSI has to be connected to
one of the middle plugs of the SCSI cable.
Operation with an internal Fast SCSI unit
Attention has to be paid that the termination is active on the hard disk. For the connection of the
hard disk use an adaptor WIDE->Fast at the end of the internal SCSI-cable. An active terminator
has to be connected to the other end of the cable. The CYBERSTORM MKIII SCSI has to be
connected to one of the middle plugs of the SCSI cable.
