4Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 User’s Reference Termination on non-Ultra160 and Ultra2 internal SCSI devicesusually is controlled by manually setting a jumper or a switchon the device, or by physically removing or installing one ormore resistor modules on the device. Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled byinstalling or removing a SCSI terminator. However, termina-tion on some external SCSI devices is enabled or disabled bysetting a switch on the back of the SCSI device. The last external Ultra160 or Ultra2 SCSI device must be termi-nated with an LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended)terminator plug to ensure that the device will operate at itsmaximum speed. If you use a different kind of terminatorplug, the data I/O rate will decrease. By default, termination on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 itselfis set to Automatic (the preferred method). We recommend thatyou do not change this default setting.
