SCSI Messages Description
All One or more of the following might be causing the problem:
A failing SCSI device (adapter, drive, controller)
An improper SCSI configuration or SCSI termination jumper setting
Duplicate SCSI IDs in the same SCSI chain
A missing or improperly installed SCSI terminator
A defective SCSI terminator
An improperly installed cable
A defective cable
Action: Verify that:
The external SCSI devices are turned on. External SCSI devices must be
turned on before you turn on the system.
The cables for all external SCSI devices are connected correctly.
If you have attached an external SCSI device to the server, the external SCSI
termination is set to automatic.
The last device in each SCSI chain is terminated correctly. See “Installing or
Removing Internal Drives” on page 56 for more information about SCSI
termination.
The SCSI devices are configured correctly.
If the above are correct, run the diagnostic tests for additional information about the
failing device. If the error recurs, have the system serviced.
