4.3 SCSI Topology. Paralan’s family of iSCSI Bridges may be connected anywhere
on the SCSI bus. All models are supplied with on-board terminators enabled. In
most cases the iSCSI Bridge will be placed at the end of the SCSI bus and
terminators should NOT be disabled (see Figure C).

If you are placing the iSCSI Bridge in the middle of the SCSI bus, you must
disable the terminators on the iS5xx (see Figure D). To disable terminators,
access the SCSI Bus page on the Web-based Utility and turn the terminators to the
off position. Make sure the devices at the ends of the SCSI bus have correct
termination and that the terminators are properly powered.
