This product includes an external SCSIbus terminator to terminate the peripheral end of a differential SCSIbus. The terminator consists of a
Install the external terminator on the end of the SCSI bus (opposite the SCSI host adapter). If an intermediate device has internal terminations installed, remove them before attaching the external terminator.
CATJTION | Only the two ends of a SCSI bus should be terminated. |
| Excessive or improper termination may overload the adapter’s |
| termination power circuitry. Refer to device manuals for their |
| proper operation on the SCSI bus. |
