Figure 3-1 F/W SCSI Buses with In-line Terminators
The use of in-line SCSI terminators allows you to do hardware
maintenance on a given node by temporarily moving its packages to
another node and then halting the original node while its hardware is
serviced. Following the replacement, the packages can be moved back to
the original node.
Use the following procedure to disconnect a node that is attached to the
bus with an in-line SCSI terminator or with a Y cable:
1. Move any packages on the node that requires maintenance to a
different node.
