Your computer may be having a problem recognizing external equipment
that uses the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).

Turn off all external SCSI equipment and disconnect the first SCSI device

the computer starts up after you disconnect your SCSI equipment, refer to
the manuals that came with the equipment for information on the proper

If you have a printer connected to your computer’s SCSI port, make sure
your printer is not supposed to be connected to the printer port instead.
Check the manuals that came with your printer for information on how to
connect it properly.
