SCSI termination
3. Connecting the power cord
If the Viper drive is the last device or the only device in a SCSI chain, you must
install a terminating plug on the unused SCSI connector. See Figure 8 below for two
SCSI termination examples. You can purchase terminating plugs on the web at
http://buytape.seagate.com.
Note.
Termination power is enabled as a default for the external Viper 200 drive.
