W/WD drives

Terminating the drive

ST19171W drives are terminated with permanently mounted IC active terminators. If you install one of these drives and it is not on the end of the SCSI bus, disable the terminators by removing the jumper from pins 15 and 16 of connector J2. If you install the drive on the end of the SCSI bus, enable termination by installing a jumper on pins 15 and 16 of connector J2 (see Figure 11).

Note. Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) terminators when terminating the bus.

ST19171WD drives do not have internal terminators or any other way of adding internal termination to the drive. You must provide external differential termination to these drives when termination is required.
