2. Installation 2. Installation The PCI-SC896 automatically controls SCSI bus termination for three different bus configurations, depending on the use of connectors. The three bus configurations are: • Only for internal SCSI connections, • Only for external SCSI connections, and • Connections to both internal and external SCSI connectors. 2.3.1 Internal SCSI Connections If only internal SCSI device connections on your host adapter have been made, then terminate the last internal device on the SCSI bus. You must disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on the PCI-SC896 host adapter is automatically enabled in this case. 2.3.2 External SCSI Connections If only external SCSI device connections to your host adapter have been made, then terminate the last external device on the SCSI bus. You must disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on your host adapter is automatically enabled in this case. 2.3.3 Internal and External SCSI Connections If internal and external SCSI devices are connected to your host adapter, then terminate the last internal and external devices on the SCSI bus. You must disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on your host adapter is automatically disabled in this case. NOTE: If an internal connection to another PCI-SC896 host adapter has been made, or any connection to a device that uses the same sensing method for automatic termination as your PCI-SC896, you must override the termination for that channel through software control.
