SlimSCSI 1450 Adapter User’s Guide
Troubleshooting
Most problems with the SlimSCSI 1450 result from errors in prepar- ing and connecting the SCSI devices to it. If you have problems, check the items below.
Note: If you have problems with a specific SCSI device when other SCSI devices are working correctly, contact the manu- facturer of the problem device for troubleshooting information.
General Hardware Troubleshooting
■Be sure all SCSI cables and power cables are properly con- nected and all SCSI devices are powered.
■Be sure the SlimSCSI 1450 is firmly seated in the PC Card slot.
■Be sure each SCSI device has a different SCSI ID.
■Be sure the last (or only) SCSI device on the SCSI bus is terminated.
■Be sure at least one SCSI device connected to the SlimSCSI 1450 supplies termination power to the SCSI bus. Otherwise, the SCSI devices will not work correctly. (Some devices have a switch to enable or disable termination power. See the device documentation for more information.)
The SlimSCSI 1450 terminates itself but does not provide ter- mination power to other devices on the SCSI bus (the adapter would need to draw this power from the portable PC’s battery, which would not be desirable).
