Actually, yes, both "ends" need to be terminated. If there is only one device (or all devices are interanl or external) then the SCSI card itself is the other "end". Most modern SCSI cards have an "auto-termination" feature where it senses whether it needs to terminate at the card or not, and does the right thing. You should make sure auto-termination is enabled.
