SCSI Terminators

For SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other, the

SCSI interface requires special resistor packs known as terminators.

These terminators reduce the echo, standing waves, and

interference along the SCSI interface.

You must be aware of the following important points about

terminators before you connect a new device to the SCSI interface.

All SCSI devices have terminators. The terminators are

normally installed on the printed circuit board of a SCSI

device. The terminators on the SCSI adapter card are located

on the component side of the card as shown below.

You must have only two devices with terminators on a SCSI

interface: the first device and the last device. All other SCSI

devices must have their terminators removed.
