SCSI Messages SCSI Messages The following table lists messages that reflect problems with the SCSI controller or a SCSI device. Note: If your server does not have a hard disk drive, ignore any message that indicates that the BIOS is not installed. SCSI Message Table You will get these messages only when running the SCSISelect Utility program. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the SCSISelect Utility program. SCSI Messages All Description 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 internal or external SCSI device to the server, make sure that the SCSI termination is set correctly. See "Termination Requirements" on page 75 for more information about SCSI termination. The SCSI devices are configured correctly. If the above are correct, run the diagnostic programs for additional information about the failing device. If the error recurs, have the system serviced. 152 Netfinity 3500 User's Handbook
