How do I terminate the HP drive?

To terminate the HP drive place a jumper over the pins labeled ACTIVE
TERM on back of the drive. A jumper is a small cap that connects the
pins, and can be pulled off or replaced with needle-nose pliers.

View of the back of the drive showing termination pins labeled ACTIVE TERM.

Should I leave on or remove the jumper on the ACTIVE TERM
pins?

LEAVE the jumper on the ACTIVE TERM pins if:

The HP drive is the only device connected to the SCSI card

OR

The HP drive is the last of several devices in a chain connected to one
SCSI card

NOTE: If the new drive is the last of several devices in a chain, disable the
termination on the device that was previously at the end of the chain. See the
documentation provided with that device to see how to disable the termination.

REMOVE the jumper from the ACTIVE TERM pins if:

The HP drive is connected between two other SCSI devices

OR

The HP drive is connected between a SCSI device and the SCSI card
