ISP Information:
Because of the amount of signals that SCSI format sends through small wiring, termination is required. The termination is accomplished by using resistors across certain signal wires. If the chain were not terminated, the signals would bounce off the end of the chain and cause interference with real signals.

SCSI bus termination - By Kevin Poulsen ,SecurityFocus Nov 24 2003 3:18PMThe Nachi worm compromised Windows-based automated teller machines attwo financial institutions last August, according to ATM-makerDiebold, in the first confirmed case of malicious code penetratingcash machines.The machines were in an advanced line of Diebold ATMs built atopWindows XP Embedded, which, like most versions of Windows, wasvulnerable to the RPC DCOM security bug exploited by Nachi, and itsmore famous forebear, Blaster.At both affected institutions the ATMs began aggressively scanning forother vulnerable machines, generating anomalous waves of networktraffic that tripped the banks' intrusion detection systems, resultingin the infected machines being automatically cut off, Dieboldexecutives said.http://www.securityfocus.com/news/7517
