Q1) This would mean that my chain is not correctly terminated! :-( However it worked nicely
for years! How is it possible?
Blind luck, perhaps?
Am I in danger of some hardware damage?
I don't think so. In danger of data corruption, yes. Hardware damage, hardly.
(If someone more experienced thinks I'm wrong on this,
please point out my mistakes before people start losing their drives just because I didn't know about some obscure Set_Device_On_Fire command or something.;-))
Q2) TERM Power. Here I am puzzled. How should I set TERM Power? The Cyberstorm docs says that one unit should provide TERM Power(I guess the Cyberstorm itself doesn't). The A4000T doc does not mention the issue, while WarpEngine can provide TP. In one chain, how many units have to provide the power?
I read a bit about Term Power and now I'm puzzled too. It seems my CSPPC driven chain has also survived on blind luck all these years - I don't think I've ever had anything providing Term Power. :-?
According to
this only one Term Power provider is required.
To either clarify or further confuse on the subject of SCSI termination, I offer
this.
