Setting the SCSI Adapter

To readjust the setting on the SCSI adapter first you must enter the

SCSI BIOS. Once you have pulled up the SCSI BIOS srceen. You

will find a list of instructions at the bottom of your window. Your

options for setting the SCSI adapters are as follows: configure/view

host adapter setting/SCSI CD utilities.

SCSI Termination

In order to stabilize communication, initial termination of the SCSI

bus must be performed. Terminations must be installed at the

extreme ends of the SCSI cable, and only at the ends. Your system

should have no more than or less than two terminators connected

and active. The peripheral devices that are connected between the

two terminators must have their terminators disabled or removed.

To ensure accidental removel the terminators should be shocketed.

If connecting mutiple devices on the SCSI bus. Those devices that

are located between the two main terminators must have their

terminators deactivated. Located below are some guidelines for

your reference:

• Usually the CPU card itself is automatic in termination.

• Nearly all non-Ultra 2 SCSI devices are manufactured with their

termination enabled.

• Internal Ultra 2 SCSI devices are manufactured with their

termination enabled and can't be changed.

• External SCSI devices may have a switch located in the rear for

termination. If not, they can be terminated by removing or

installing a SCSI terminator.

• Internal SCSI devices can be terminated by simply setting a

jumper or switch. They may also be terminated by installing or

removing a resistor module.
