Enable termination on a SCSI channel if the controller is installed at one end of the channel. This setting terminates the channel and powers the SCSI TERMPWR signal.

Disable termination on a SCSI channel if the controller is not at the end of the channel (i.e., both external and internal devices exist on the same channel).

DIAGNOSTIC LED(S)

Status

Condition

J6/pins 1 & 2

On

SCSI is active

(Data is being transmitted/received across SCSI channels)

J6/pins 1 & 2

Off

No SCSI activity

J6/pins 3 & 4

On

PCI is active

(Data is being transmitted/received to/from host)

J6/pins 3 & 4

Off

No PCI activity

J6/pins 5 & 6

On

Write is pending

(Cache holds data that needs to be written to disk)

J6/pins 5 & 6

Off

No write is pending

Note: If the system loses power or is reset while J6/pins 5 & 6 are on, the data in cache memory will be

lost. Installing optional cache battery backup module J2 will avoid data loss.
