Proper Termination
A terminator provides electrical circuitry at the end of a SCSI chain to prevent the reflection of electrical
signals when they reach the end of the chain. The SCSI bus requires termination only at the end of the
SCSI chain. The MX-2424 includes an internal terminator as standard, which should not be removed.
There are several types of SCSI Termination for use with external devices. Only the specified types of
terminators described below should be used with the MX-2424.
When a SCSI chain consists of LVD devices The MX-2424 must use an LVD/SE Terminator on the last
device. When a SCSI chain contains single ended wide or narrow SCSI devices, the MX-2424 must use
an active terminator on the last device.
All 16-bit drives should be configured to supply Term Power to the bus (usually default setting). This
configuration is usually a jumper setting. Please refer to drive documentation for directions on installing
this jumper setting.
All connection and disconnection of SCSI devices/cables/terminators must be done with all power off.
