About SCSI Bus Termination
This section provides a brief tutorial about how to configure a system to provide
proper termination on a SCSI bus.
A single SCSI host adapter can support up to six other SCSI devices. The devices
can be linked directly to the host adapter or, more commonly, linked to each other
in a daisy chain. Figure 5 shows two examples of SCSI bus configurations: 1) a
host adapter with a single (internal) SCSI device and 2) a host adapter with four
other SCSI devices linked serially. The line the devices share is the SCSI bus.
SCSI is a very powerful I/O protocol that handles large amounts of data very
quickly. Disturbances on the SCSI bus such as signal distortion, or echo, can
cause problems. Terminating the SCSI bus filters out signal distortion. It is,
therefore, very important that the bus be properly terminated.
When a SCSI bus is properly terminated, the first device and the last device on
the SCSI bus are terminated, and termination is removed or disabled on any
device in between as shown in Figure 5.
In a QIC drive, SCSI termination is either enabled or disabled by installing or
removing three resistor packs. Power to the terminators is supplied by one SCSI
terminator power jumper.
Internal QIC drives are shipped with termination enabled. To disable or remove
termination on an internal model, refer to “Setting SCSI ID and Termination
Power” in this appendix.
External QIC drives are terminated on the rear panel of the unit.
