Installing The Controller
SCSI Termination
Proper termination of channels used with SCSI devices is critical in
having the system work properly. The basics of termination are:
■ Use SCSI cables certified for Ultra320 operation to allow the
system to work at full speed.
Note:
The cable that came with your Adaptec SCSI
RAID 2120S/2200S controller has a built-in multimode
terminator on one end. This is meant to be located at the
opposite end of the cable from the attachment to the
controller. None of the devices attached to this cable
should be terminated. Like this cable, SCSI cables meant
for Ultra320 have multimode termination.
■ Enable termination on the physical end of a SCSI cable opposite
its connection to the controller (see the note above and the
following figure). If the controller is at one end of the SCSI
cable, leave the controller’s termination set to On for that
channel. Turn the controller’s termination setting Off only if
both internal and external cables and terminators are attached
to that channel. Any cables attached to a channel that doesn’t
have any devices or terminators attached should be
disconnected from the controller prior to starting the system.
■ If you are using multiple SCSI channels on a single controller, as
is possible on the Adaptec SCSI RAID 2200S, terminate each
channel separately.
SCSI termination for Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers is configured
through ARC. The controller has two possible termination settings:
Setting Function
Auto (Default) Used for most cabling conditions.
Disabled Disables controller termination unconditionally.
