On most internal SCSI devices the termination setting is controlled by a jumper or a switch. On other internal SCSI devices you must physically remove or install resistor module(s). On most external SCSI devices, a terminating plug (a resistor pack embedded in a small plug) is installed or removed to control termination. 4
