Barracuda 2LP Installation Guide, Rev. E

For information about how to terminate your drive, refer
to the appropriate drive-specific section.

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 appro-
priate drive-specific section.

Synchronizing spindles

If you are installing two or more Barracuda drives, you
may (optionally) synchronize their spindles to reduce the
latency associated with switching from one drive to
another. Spindle sync cables are used to connect the
drives.

After connecting each drive with spindle sync cables,
designate a master spindle sync reference source. This
master source is normally a disc drive located on the
same SCSI bus as the other drives you want to synchro-
nize with. To designate a drive as the master, use SCSI
interface commands. Refer to the product manual for
information about using these commands.

For information about how to synchronize the spindles for
your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section.
