In a cabinet as you describe, it is normal to put a terminator on the cabinet, not the drive. Maybe that is what you did, but you made it sound like you installed a jumper on the last drive. In a cabinet as you describe you would not put jumpers directly on the drives. If you did so, then it makes it harder when replacing a drive. All drives should be just plug and go. > > > > On Mon, 21 Mar 2005, Salyzyn, Mark wrote: > > > Termination, Cabling and/or Drive Firmware Incompatibilities.
