Configure termination.

ST150176LC drives are designed for installation in host sys-
tems that have a backplane with single connector attach-
ment (SCA) connections. Termination is normally provided
on this backplane. Check your host system documentation
for details.

Note. Host systems designed to use ST150176LC drives nor-

mally provide termination power from the host adapter or
other source. ST150176LC drives cannot be configured
to provide termination power to the bus.

• You can use this drive in host systems that do

not have a backplane with SCA connectors by
using a SCA to wide SCSI-2 adapter. These

adapters separate the interface lines from the power lines. If
you use such an adapter, proceed with step 2 of the installa-
tion instructions provided for ST150176LW drives.
