 |  Terminator Power Source Options +----------------------------------------/
 +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------\
 |  2 & 4 - Initiator supplies power over the SCSI Bus for terminators. |
 |            Drive supplies no terminator power.                       |
 |  1 & 2 - Drive supplies power for its own terminator resistor-paks   |
 |            but not to SCSI Bus.  This is the factory setting.        |
 |  1 & 3                                                               |
 |   AND  - Drive supplies power fpr external terminator at end of the  |
 |  2 & 4     daisy chain. Terminator resistor-paks must be removed.    |
 |            This option is recommended only for last drive on daisy   |
 |            chain.                                                    |
