So the computer can identify the device it wants to communicate with A SCSI chain requires an electronic component called a terminator A terminator absorbs old signals traveling along the cables and keeps the path open for new signals The chain should never have more than two terminators one at each end It is important to remember that using too many or too few terminators may damage your SCSI devices Some SCSI devices have built in terminators and must therefore be placed at the end of your SCSI chain Note Your SnapScan does not have a built in terminator Caution If two SCSI devices have the same ID number your system will not work properly and you may damage your SCSI devices For more information see Choosing a SCSI ID number Preface 7 How to use this guide Chapter 1 Instali Click any text or graphic that is identified as hypertext link The pointer changes into apointing Chapter 3 Setti j finger when positioned over a link Underlined text is linked to another part of this guide Dotted underlined text is linked to co rsian is the glossary in this guide Click Go Back to return to the previous page view gt O Preface Click on the bookmark name to go to A 1 metallina Fotol ook the topic marked by that bookmark b E 4 Click the triangle to the left ofa b O 2 FotoLook reference bookmark to show and hide gt O 3 Setting up your monitor subordinate bookmarks b
