2.4 SCSI Termination
One 68-pin wide SCSI connector is provided on the back of the enclosure for
connecting the array to the system. These connectors are used in one of two
ways:
v
If the SurfRAID TRITON Mini is the only external SCSI device, or is the
last external device in a daisy-chained configuration, connect the incom-
ing cable (the one which is attached to the SCSI adapter) to the Host A
in connector and install the external SCSI Terminator on the Host A out
connector.
v
If the array is to be placed in the middle of a daisy-chained configuration,
connect the incoming cable (the one which is attached to the SCSI
adapter) to the Host A in connector and connect the outgoing cable (the
one which continues on to other devices) to the Host A out connector. In
this case, no terminator is required at the SurfRAID TRITON Mini but the
last device in the daisy chain must have a terminator.
Correct SCSI termination procedures require that the last device on the SCSI
bus be terminated. If the last device is not terminated, or if devices other than
the last are terminated, erratic SCSI bus performance may occur. Typically,
the system or host adapter is the first device and is already terminated.
When installing the SurfRAID TRITON Mini on a SCSI bus with other devices,
be sure to observe the above rules with all devices on the SCSI bus. Consult
your system and/or host adapter manual for additional information on correct
termination procedure.
