    The Ultra160 SCSI host adapters automatically control SCSI bus termination for various bus configurations. In one case, you may disable termination by using BIOS software control to change the BIOS termination from Automatic to Off. In another case where jumpers are provided on the board, you would locate the shunts on the board for autotermination override.
