SCSI-bus Termination - Internal
Tape Drives
Termination in General
A SCSI-bus is susceptible to interference, such as noise from
electrical motors and other electromagnetic devices. Also due
to the speed of the data on the SCSI-bus, it is of outmost
importance to terminate the SCSI-bus properly. "Termination" is
used to define the ends of the SCSI-bus.

the SCSI cable or the only device on the

a SCSI chain, as shown to the left, you
must disable SCSI termination on the

the tape drive, remove the termination
resistor packs from the drive (see figure
on the following page). Make sure that
the last SCSI device on the cable has
termination enabled.
