Installing the A6828A Adapter

Specifying SCSI Parameters

Auto Termination

When you configure the A6828A adapter’s auto termination parameter, you specify the adapter’s role in the SCSI bus termination, because the adapter might be a point of termination.

For more information on SCSI bus termination, including a tutorial, you can visit HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://itrc.hp.com.

Controlling Auto Termination

You can control auto termination in the A6828A adapter (see “Using the Jumper for Controlling Auto Termination” on page 38) depending upon the HP-UX system in which the adapter is installed (see Table 2-2 on page 22).

Summary of Auto Termination Configurations

Table 2-4 summarizes the possible A6828A auto termination configurations.
