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 terminator.
You can attach or remove external terminators yourself.
Connecting a SCSI device
Be sure to read the previous section, “Before You Connect a Device,” before
following the instructions in this one.
Use these general instructions in conjunction with those that came with your
SCSI device:
1 Turn off your Macintosh.
2Make sure the SCSI device is switched off.
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect any device while the device or
your Macintosh is turned on. Doing so could damage the device, your
computer, or both.
