SCSI requires terminators. Where should they be placed?
• Answer: Terminators must be placed at the extreme ends of the cabling for each SCSI bus segment. There must be two, and only two, terminators for each bus segment. This means that the last connector at the end of a ribbon cable must have either a terminator or a terminated peripheral plugged into it. If the host adapter is at the end of the cabling, it too must be terminated. Higher end host adapters do a fairly good job of automatically terminating when needed.
