I have an F-740 with 3 FC-8 shelves and 1 FC-9 shelf, chained togethor. The documentation stated that I should put the FC-8's first and this was confirmed to me by NetApp tech support.
Yup, I just received e-mail from two Netapp folks saying the same thing, and that auto-termination on the FC-9's still work in that configuration. I haven't had any trouble with that on standalone shelves yet, so rather than potentially confusing the hardware with a physical terminator, I just leave it "open". So far so good.
