5Make 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 internal hard disk, which is the first device in the
chain, has a built-in terminator.
Some external SCSI devices from manufacturers other than Apple have a
built-in terminator. (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 attach an external terminator.
Have your Apple-authorized service provider remove any extra built-in
terminators. You can attach or remove external terminators yourself.
Tip: If only one external device has a built-in terminator, rearrange the SCSI
chain so that device is at the end.
IMPORTANT
Always turn on any external SCSI devices connected to your
Macintosh before turning on the computer itself. Otherwise, your computer
cannot recognize the SCSI devices.
