resistors installed. If termination is not correctly applied to the bus, data corruption can occur. If you are using only two devices on the bus (the RF3880 and one peripheral) both must be terminated. If you are using multiple devices on the SCSI bus (several peripherals, in addition to the RF3880 adapter) only the two devices physically at the ends of the cable must be terminated.

Cabling	The SCSI cable connector for the RF3880 extends from the front faceplate.
	Currently there is one model of the RF3880, and it uses a SCSI “P” type
	connector to implement the differential interface.
