Termination

The SCSI bus is a chain of SCSI devices. The devices at both ends of any SCSI chain must be terminated for the SCSI bus to function correctly. A SCSI device chain can be configured in three different ways: internal, external and an internal/external SCSI device chain..

Remember an ATTO ExpressPCI Ultra2 SCSI adapter is also a SCSI device and may require termination depending upon the configuration. Be sure to use the correct terminator. Single-ended, low voltage differential and differential SCSI buses use different types of terminators that should not be mixed.

Terminating the Single-Ended ATTO ExpressPCI UL2S and UL2D

Your ATTO ExpressPCI Ultra2 SCSI host adapter incorporates advanced termination circuitry that allows it to automatically configure its own termination.
