Option problems An IBM option that previously worked does not work now. Action Verify that all of the option hardware and cable connections are secure. If the option comes with its own test instructions, use those instructions to test the option. If the failing option is a SCSI option, verify that: 1. The cables for all external SCSI options are connected correctly. 2. The last option in each SCSI chain, or the end of the SCSI cable, is terminated correctly. 3. All external SCSI options are turned on. External SCSI options must be turned on before the system is turned on. For more information, see your SCSI documentation. If you cannot correct the problem, have the option and computer serviced. Parallel port problems Parallel port problems The parallel port cannot be accessed. Action Verify that: 1. Each port is assigned a unique address. See Configuration/Setup Utility program for more information. 2. The parallel-port adapter, if you added one, is properly installed and firmly seated. See "Installing adapters" on page 69 for instructions on adding adapters. If you cannot correct the problem, have the computer serviced. 106 IntelliStation Z Pro User Guide
