Termination depends on the nature of the last device on the chain -
I don't know the exact setup inside a 9500 but my 8500 int scsi has CD
(top 5.25 bay), 80 pin Seagate (third bay - 3.5 with adapter) and 80 pin
Seagate (fourth bay 3.5 with adapter).
My options are to terminate the last device in bay four with a
jumper on the drive if the drive has 'term enable' - which mine doesn't -
terminate on the adapter if the adapter has 'term enable' - which mine
does - or terminate the next connector after the last device on the chain
with a terminator if the connector is not more than four inches of ribbon
away from the last device - I've never tried the last one - perhaps
someone else has...
