Getting Started

I/OHIGHWAY’s SCSI termination can be set to auto-termination or programmable mode via the SmartSCSI Setup Utility. This feature allows the operator to switch the auto- termination On or Off. If auto-termination is switched off, the operator can manually program termination for the host adapter. There are three ways to manually control terminating the host adapter on the SCSI bus (see TABLE 1).
