How should the SCSI bus be terminated?, Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed?

Page 37 highlights

How should the SCSI bus be terminated? Description It is unclear if the bus is already terminated or where an additional terminator should be placed. Further information Both ends of a SCSI bus must be terminated. Assuming that the host bus adapter is already correctly terminated, there are typically two possibilities: • The tape drive is being connected in a direct one- to-one configuration to the host server termination must be used. • The tape drive is being daisy-chained with other tape devices onto the host server - only the last device must be terminated. The terminator plugs directly onto either SCSI connection on the rear of the tape array. Terminators must be ordered separately. Refer also to the "SCSI Configuration" section in the online User's Guide on the HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM. Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed? Description Further information The server already has a SCSI host bus adapter but it is difficult to determine what type it is. If your server is in its original configuration (no SCSI adapters have been added or removed) then use www.hp.com/go/connect to check the compatibility of your system. You can also check the SCSI configuration from the boot-up screen or from the Windows Control Panel, or by using HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 29). The server may not have a SCSI host bus Use HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 29) to adapter installed. check whether you have a SCSI host adapter on your system. If not, you will need to purchase one. 35

How should the SCSI bus be terminated?
Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed?
Description
Further information
It is unclear if the bus is already
terminated or where an additional
terminator should be placed.
Both ends of a SCSI bus must be terminated.
Assuming that the host bus adapter is already
correctly terminated, there are typically two
possibilities:
• The tape drive is being connected in a direct one-
to-one configuration to the host server -
termination must be used.
• The tape drive is being daisy-chained with other
tape devices onto the host server - only the last
device must be terminated.
The terminator plugs directly onto either SCSI
connection on the rear of the tape array.
Terminators must be ordered separately.

the online User’s Guide on the

CD-ROM.
