Attaching A Scsi Terminator To The Base System Scsi Connector; Connector On The System Unit - DEC DECstation 5000 Model 100 Series Hardware Operator's Manual

Attaching a SCSI Terminator to the Base System SCSI
Connector
A connector for a small computer system interface (SCSI) is
built into the base system hardware, as shown in Figure 2-1,
on page 2-2. When the connector is not connected to a SCSI
device (a disk drive or other device that uses a SCSI interface),
it must be terminated with a SCSI terminator. Otherwise, the
workstation may not function properly.
For the time being, put a SCSI terminator on the SCSI
connector on the system unit. You can remove the terminator
later if you connect SCSI devices to the system unit.
Your system unit may have additional SCSI connectors
in option slots. Do not attach SCSI terminators to these
connectors.
