Checking that the SCSI chain is properly terminated To ensure accurate transmission of information, a chain of SCSI devices must have a terminator at each end. Terminators are built into some SCSI devices and can also be added externally. * Your PowerBook�s internal hard disk, which is always the first device in the chain, has a small built-in terminator. However, for reliable information transfer in a chain of SCSI devices, it should be supplemented with an external terminator as described in these instructions. * External SCSI devices from Apple do not have built-in terminators. * External SCSI devices from other vendors may have built-in terminators; see the documentation that came with the device. If you are attaching one SCSI device: Make sure that there is * an external terminator between the HDI-30 system cable and the SCSI device and * an internal terminator in the SCSI device, or an external terminator attached to the device. If you are attaching more than one SCSI device: Make sure that there is * an internal terminator in the first external device, or an external terminator between the HDI-30 system cable and the first device; * an internal terminator in or an external terminator attached to the last device; and * no other terminator (internal or external) in the chain.
