SCSI Termination
In order to stabilize communication, initial termination of the SCSI
bus must be performed. Terminations must be installed at the
extreme ends of the SCSI cable, and only at the ends. Your system
should have no more than or less than two terminators connected
and active. The peripheral devices that are connected between the
two terminators must have their terminators disabled or removed.
To ensure accidental removel the terminators should be shocketed.
If connecting mutiple devices on the SCSI bus. Those devices that
are located between the two main terminators must have their
terminators deactivated. Located below are some guidelines for
• Usually the CPU card itself is automatic in termination.

To readjust the setting on the SCSI adapter first you must enter the
SCSI BIOS. Once you have pulled up the SCSI BIOS srceen. You
