All PC Server 315 models come with UltraSCSI adapter preinstalled as a standard feature. This adapter provides termination for one end of the SCSI bus (cable) in the server. However, both ends of the SCSI bus must be terminated.
Resolving The Problem
All PC Server 315 models come with UltraSCSI adapter preinstalled as a standard feature. This adapter provides termination for one end of the SCSI bus (cable) in the server. However, both ends of the SCSI bus must be terminated. The steps required to set the termination for the other end of the SCSI bus are as follows:
PC Server 315 models that come with a hard disk drive preinstalled in bay 6:
The termination for the hard disk drive is set to Enabled. When you install additional SCSI devices in bays 3, 4, and 5, you must disable the termination for the devices before you install them.
PC Server 315 models that do not come with a preinstalled hard disk drive:
These models come with a terminator attached to the last connector on the SCSI cable. When you install a hard disk drive, it should be installed in bay 6. Enable termination on the drive and remove the terminator from the last connector on the SCSI cable. Connect the last connector on the SCSI cable to the hard disk drive.
NOTE:
The terminator is used for factory tests only and should not be used during normal operation.
Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI device for more information about termination.
