Refer to the manuals that came with your SCSI devices for instructions on installing any necessary software, setting SCSI ID numbers, and connecting SCSI cables and SCSI terminators. Refer to the illustrations that follow for the proper positioning of SCSI terminators. A chain of SCSI devices must include a terminator attached to the last device in the chain (but nowhere else in the chain). Some devices have internal terminators. Your Macintosh PowerBook does not have an internal terminator.
