SCSI Devices to the Storage Adapter Use SCSI cables to connect SCSI devices to the SRCU42X controller. To connect the SCSI devices: a. Disable termination on any SCSI device that does not sit at the end of the SCSI bus. b. Configure all SCSI devices to supply TERMPWR. c. Connect cables to the SCSI - Intel SRCU42X | Hardware User Guide - Page 23
