** LSI Logic automatic cable sensing and control circuitry automatically turns termination on or off depending on which two connectors are used.

Manual (1) allows the user to terminate either the internal or external bus, or provide no termination.
Manual (2) gives the user control of termination of the upper 8 bits of the SCSI bus.
