Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 59)

If the device is not the first one, use a SCSI peripheral interface cable to
connect it to the last device in the chain:
IMPORTANT The total length of the cables in a SCSI chain should not exceed 6
meters (about 20 feet). SCSI cables must have a 110-ohm impedance. For best
results, use SCSI cables manufactured by Apple Computer.
m Make sure that the last (or only) device in the SCSI chain has a terminator.
Make sure that no other external SCSI device has a terminator.
To ensure accurate transmission of information, a terminator must be at
each end of a SCSI chain. Your computer’s main logic board, which is the
first device in the chain, has a built-in terminator.
Some external SCSI devices from manufacturers other than Apple have
built-in terminators. (Check the information that came with the device.) If
the device at the end of the SCSI chain does not have a built-in terminator,
you need to purchase and attach an external terminator.
If your SCSI device has a built-in terminator, use it as your last device in the
chain or have your Apple-authorized service provider remove the extra built-
in terminator. You can attach or remove external terminators yourself.
