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.
Typically, when connecting an internal drive to the
ribbon cable already inside your server then both the
host bus adapter and the end of the ribbon cable will
already be terminated and no further action is
required.
Refer also to the “SCSI Configuration” section in the
online User’s Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape
CD-ROM.

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
