SCSI Termination
The ends of a SCSI daisy chain must be terminated correctly. Otherwise, data errors, system
crashes, etc., may occur. Termination at the DR16pro end of the chain is taken care of by the
DR16pro. At the other end of the chain you must fit a terminator. Some SCSI devices have a
terminator built-in. This type of device must always be connected at the end of the daisy chain.
Other devices are supplied with an in-line type terminator that you must connect to the unused
SCSI connector. The following diagram shows how a SCSI daisy chain should be terminated:

The following diagram shows an example of an in-line terminator connected to a hard disk:
Note: The terminator switch on the rear panel is not related to the termination of the SCSI-A
bus.
