NOTE

You must first determine the type of termination your host system requires.

In a daisy chain configuration, a terminator must be used on both the first and last devices on the bus. One of these devices may be the host adapter. All other LF 8600's between the first and last device in the daisy chain should not be terminated.

NOTE

Installation of both an active single-ended terminator and a passive single-ended terminator on the same bus is not recommended.

If only one LF 8600 is attached to a host, the bus must be terminated at the host adapter and the LF 8600. Normally, the termination function is built into the host adapter. Power for the external terminator is supplied from the LF 8600 and may also be supplied from another device in the SCSI daisy chain. Terminator power for external terminators is provided by the LF 8600 power supply.
