Terminating a Single-Ended Tape Drive
The single-ended tape drive includes two single in-line
package resistor terminators (R-packs) that can be left in
place if the tape drive terminates the SCSI bus.
CAUTION
The R-packs must be removed if the tape drive does
not terminate the SCSI bus or if you plan to use an
external SCSI bus termination.
Optional External Termination
If desired, you can terminate the single-ended tape drive
externally by removing the R-packs from the back of the
tape drive and installing an external terminator. Exabyte
recommends a Methode Electronics, Inc. dataMate
DM103-02-0 single-ended external terminator.

drive, as shown in Figure 4.
