How To Build An All SCSI System

Here is a picture of the cable that would attach to this drive. Remember that this cable would need to be terminated as well.

Since the cable is D-shaped, it can only attach to the drive or SCSI controller one way, the cable lacks a stripe.

Since our drives lack termination we would need an external terminator. This plugs into the next connector of the SCSI cable after the last drive.

Here's what a 68 pin terminator looks like.

Note that 50 pin terminators exist as well, but in our case, it wasn't needed. Your pin configuration of your hard drive may be different. Read the label on the drive and determine if it has a termination setting.
