STEP 4:
Connect all power cables to the external peripherals.
4. Additional Termination Information
The last physical device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated. Termina-
tion must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables. Ultra2/3 SCSI
peripherals
do not
have built-in termination, but Ultra and Fast/Wide devices do have
termination that must be checked. For more information refer to the owners manuals for
each SCSI device.
The host adapter will automatically enable or disable termination as necessary.
When installed in multiple computer configurations, i.e. clusters, you can force the
motherboard to enable termination even when power to the computer is OFF. This would
enable the other computers in the cluster to continue to operate the shared SCSI devices
even when the computer
supplying termination at the other end of the bus is shut down. By default, the
motherboard is built with the onboard termination Enabled.
