Where should the SCSI terminator be?

Termination must be present at two and ONLY two positions on the SCSI bus—at the beginning of the

SCSI bus and at the end of the SCSI bus. Termination is normally enabled by default on the HBA and

most internal SCSI cables have a terminator attached. This will usually be a small, rectangular block of

plastic attached to the cable end and marked ‘SCSI Terminator’.

Therefore, assuming the HBA is the first device on the bus, you should check that the second terminator is

placed after the last device, as shown in figure 9, item 2.
