The terminator on the dock board is to terminate bus if no drive installed. Remove it
and terminate the drive itself as required - either terminator resistor packs or
jumper settings as required. Not sure how dock SCSI bus configured, but would assume
it behaves same as any SCSI card - ie if internal aand external drives connected the
control card IS NOT terminated "middle of chain"- if only internal or only external
devices connected the control card is terminated as end of chain device.
