2.
Attach the SCSI interface cable to one of the 68-pin SCSI interface connectors on the back of
the drive.
Checking the SCSI Termination
If the desktop LTO-2 half-height drive is the last or only device in a SCSI chain, install a 68-pin LVD
terminating plug on the unused SCSI connector. See Figure 7 on page 23 for two SCSI termination
examples.
NOTE: Termination power is enabled as a default for desktop drives.
