When To Use Termination; Terminator Power - Dell PowerVault 110T DLT1 Drive User Manual

Getting Started and Setup: Dell PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Drive User's Guide

When to Use Termination

If the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive is the only SCSI device on the selected server other than the SCSI host
adapter, or it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the end of the SCSI cable), it must be terminated. If another SCSI
device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is properly terminated and do not terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape drive. Regardless of which device is used to terminate the SCSI bus, it must have power applied and be turned on for
proper termination to occur.
To terminate the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal drive, install an active Low-Voltage Differential/Single-Ended
(LVD/SE) cable-end or inline terminator on the SCSI cable you intend to use with the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 Tape Internal
drive. See the terminator's instructions for more information.

Terminator Power

At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator power (TERMPWR). The factory default for the PowerVault 110T DLT
VS160 Tape Internal drive is TERMPWR enabled, which is the recommended setting. It is acceptable for more than one device on
the SCSI bus to provide TERMPWR. If you need to disable TERMPWR, remove the terminator power jumper shown in
