Machine PowerTOWER Pro 225 (PTP)
I have two of these critters. One is working fine in spite of an A1 dead Ram dimm socket. On the mother board (P/N PCC 5000-0121-05) the external SCSI bus #1 , socket ... has nothing attached to it. It does has a PCI board installed ... which in a previous post, the respondents identified it as a SCSI PCI board. No other PowerComputing PCP or PTP I have ever encountered has a SCSI PCI board.
My other PTP 225 (with which I had all sort of problems with the Power Logix G4 board), Mother Board #PCC 5000-0121-03 has an 8" ribbon cable plugged into the SCSI bus #1 Socket. At the other end of this ribbon cable there is a loose, (what must be a terminator) plugged into it.
My question: Is this internal ribbon cable with the terminator on it, necessary to use external SCSI peripherals? I would suspect that the SCSI peripherals might need this terminator but, none of my other Power CENTER Pros have this internal ribbon cable and terminator.
It is difficult, when you buy these things second hand, to ascertain what the origional configuration was and could some of these things just be someone's brain storm (or Brain Crash) jury rig.
