Terminator power
You usually will not need to change this option and can normally
leave the drive configured as it was shipped from the factory. For
information about how to change the terminator power option on
your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section.
I/O circuits and data path widths
WD models use differential I/O circuits. You cannot mix these
models with single-ended models (N, W) on the same SCSI
bus. The circuits are incompatible with each other.
W and WD, models have a “wide” (16-bit) SCSI data bus
rather than the standard (non-wide) 8-bit SCSI data bus; how-
ever, you can use these wide drives on a standard (non-wide)
8-bit data bus.
