The table below shows how termination must be set on the host
adapter for the three possible configurations of devices on the SCSI
bus. If you need to change the termination setting, follow the
instructions in Terminating the SCSI Bus on page 3-2.
The following sections explain each of the three configurations.
Termination for Internal Devices Only
When only internal devices are connected to the host adapter, the
last device connected to the ribbon cable should be terminated and
the host adapter should be terminated, as shown in Figure 3-2.
