In a plain SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) chain, up to 8 devices can be connected, including the SCSI host adapter. This means there are 7 additional devices that can be connected to the chain. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 7, with each device needing a unique ID for proper communication.

SCSI chain
Ultra wide SCSI. wide SCSI buses support 16 devices, rather than the eight devices specified in regular SCSI.
SCSI-2 cables can support up to 8 devices on a single bus. This includes one SCSI controller and up to seven additional devices, such as hard drives, scanners, and printers. Each device is connected in a daisy-chain configuration, with unique IDs assigned to avoid conflicts.

Multiple SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) devices are connected using a daisy-chaining method, where each device is connected in series along a single SCSI bus. Each device is assigned a unique SCSI ID, typically ranging from 0 to 15, allowing the SCSI controller to communicate with each device individually. The bus can support various devices, such as hard drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives, as long as the total number of devices does not exceed the bus's capacity. Additionally, SCSI terminators are used at each end of the bus to prevent signal reflection and ensure stable communication.

The final SCSI device in the chain of devices must be terminated. If you have only one device and it's attached to a SCSI port, you must terminate that device. If you have two or more SCSI devices that are linked together and to a shared SCSI Port ie: SCSI Port, Device #1, Device #2, etc, then the final device in the 'chain' must be terminated to allow for proper recognition. The SCSI Port also requires a terminator as well.
