SCSI  ID,  install  jumpers  on  the  SCSI  ID  jumper  block  as
shown in Figure 1 on page 6.

2. Installing  or  removing  terminating  resistors.  SCSI  I/O

termination  consists of  three  resistor  packs, called termina-
tors, that plug into sockets on the printed circuit board. The
terminating resistors are shown in Figure 1.

If  you  are  installing  only  one  drive,  leave  the  terminators
installed.  If  you  are  installing  multiple  drives,  remove  the
terminators from all drives except the drive connected to the
end of the cable.

3. Installing jumpers on the terminator power source jumper

block. If you removed the terminating resistors in step 2, install
a  jumper  on  pins  2  and  4  of  the  terminator  power  source
jumper block shown in Figure 1.

Note. Installing  a  jumper  on  pins  2  and  4  of  the  terminator

power  source  jumper  block  does  not  disconnect  the
terminating resistors from the circuit. If your application
requires no terminating resistors, you must unplug them
from the drive circuit board as discussed in step 2.

To select the drive power connector as the termination power
source for the resistor packs, install a jumper on pins 1 and 3
of the terminator power source jumper block.

To select the SCSI connector as the termination power source
for the resistor packs, install a jumper on pins 1 and 2 of the
terminator power source jumper block.

To provide terminator power to the SCSI connector from the
drive power connector only, install a jumper on pins 3 and 4
of the terminator power source jumper block. 

To provide terminator power to the SCSI connector and the
drive terminator packs, install jumpers on pins 1 and 2 and
pins 3 and 4 of the terminator power source jumper block.
