Installing Your Controller
By using a 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI cable adapter, a Narrow device can
be attached to a Wide cable along with Wide devices. However, the
device at the end of the cable must be a Wide device so that all SCSI
signals are terminated. For internal and external cables where one
cable is Narrow, set the controller termination to High Only.
The following figure shows various SCSI cabling examples.
Terminate your SCSI devices as shown in the examples, ensuring
that the devices at the ends of the cables are terminated and the
devices in the middle are not terminated. If only one cable is
attached, then one end is the controller, and must have its
termination enabled, as indicated in the diagrams where the circled
T is in the controller.
Note:
SCSI only
Each channel being used on a multi-channel
RAID adapter must be terminated properly for its configuration
