Based on SCSI specifications, the SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends, meaning the devices that are connected to the ends of the SCSI bus must have their bus terminators enabled. Devices connected in the middle of the SCSI bus must have their terminators disabled. Proper termination allows data and SCSI commands to be transmitted reliably on the SCSI bus. The host adapter and the SCSI devices attached to it must be properly terminated, or they will not work reliably.
Termination means that terminators are installed in the devices at each end of the bus. Some SCSI devices require you to manually insert or remove the terminators. Other devices have
If your RAID subsystem is the last device on the SCSI bus, attach the terminator included in the package to the Host Channel A & B Out port before using the subsystem.
