How sure are you that your terminator is still good. A failing or dodgy terminator can trigger auto-termination built into some drives. When I swap the drive with one of the working ones the same drive has

(These are often jumper settings to control termination, but some models don't have jumpers but still auto-sense the need for termination, and still others provide no internal termination). These things come to bite you when you move drives after a couple years of use, and forget. All of my drives have the same jumper pin layout.
Left to right, Term Pwr / Reserved / SCSIID3 / SCSIID2 / SCSIID1 / SCSIID0 Obviously the 4 right-most ones are the ID number so I have IDs 0, 1, 2 and 3 for my for drives I have no idea what reserved is but none of the drives have a jumper in that position. I also do not know what term pwr (I assume terminator power) is for but all of the drives have this jumper set to on. I assume if I remove the pin from the last drive it will act as a built in terminator? I might be wrong about that but can anyone confirm? All of my drives are HP. one is DAT72 and the other 3 are Storageworks Ultrium drives. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
