ORE NFORMATION
The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be
terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other
devices in the middle of the cables. Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI
devices are automatically un-terminated, but Ultra SCSI and
Fast/Wide SCSI devices do have termination that you must
check. For more information, refer to the documentation for
each SCSI device.
If you are using external Ultra2 or Ultra160 devices, be sure to
use an LVD terminator to terminate the last device in the chain. If
you use a single-ended, active terminator (sometimes called an
Ultra terminator) the SCSI devices will not operate at their maxi-
mum speed.
