The Macintosh systems that have SCSI ports are not terminated on the logic
board. One system, the Macintosh IIfx, when shipped without an internal hard
drive, comes with a terminator plugged into the internal SCSI connector. If an
internal hard drive is installed in a Macintosh system, it should be
terminated. The internal hard drive is the first device in a SCSI chain. The
last device in the SCSI chain should also be terminated.
Typically, a Macintosh system with only one SCSI device needs only one
terminator. The exception to this is the Macintosh IIfx when it has a single
SCSI device attached on the external SCSI connector. In this case, there
should be the internal terminator that came with Macintosh IIfx and a
terminator on the external SCSI device.
