This is for more advanced termination issues, if terminated, terminate power from drive should work. These settings determine where the 5V (iirc) required for active termination comes from. You do want to avoid term power to the bus, in general. In general, the CD does have termination on, so you shouldn't need to terminate additional internal drives. > Damn, SCSI can be such a pain at times.
