Terminating Your Internal Tape Drive
You must terminate the tape drive if:
• It is the only SCSI device—other than the SCSI host bus adapter—on the selected server or
workstation’s SCSI bus.
• It is the last SCSI device on the selected server or workstation’s SCSI bus.
To terminate the tape drive, insert an active low-voltage differential (LVD) or multimode LVD/SE
terminator into the connector on one end of the SCSI ribbon cable as shown in
Figure 3-7 . You can use
a cable-end terminator as shown in Figure 3-7 or an inline terminator, whichever is most convenient.
Continue with the rest of the installation as usual.
