| SCSI Terminators |
Here are two SCSI Terminators, left one is a 68 pin terminator and the
right one 50 pin.
A basic principle of SCSI says that a SCSI bus requires correct electrical
termination at both ends in order to function properly.
Unfortunately, termination is implemented differently from SCSI device to
SCSI device (some use jumpers, some use removable resistor packs, others use
combinations of the two), and this can cause some headaches when configuring
multiple devices on a SCSI bus.
Proper termination ensures that the signal travelling down the SCSI bus
doesn't "reflect back", a situation that can cause a variety of problems
including "ghosted" SCSI devices, data errors, and other anomalies. |
