If . . .Then . . .Response . . .

The system does not recognize the DS9000 Series unit

The system may not be configured to recognize the

SCSI ID

The SCSI ID might not be unique

Configure the system to see the ID.

Change the SCSI ID and reconfigure the system. The new ID is effective at the next power- on.

The parameters for the SCSI adapter may be incorrect

The SCSI signal cable may be loose

The SCSI terminator may not be present or might be loose

The SCSI bus may not be correctly terminated

Check the SCSI adapter installation.

Make sure the connector on each end of the cable is fully seated and the bail locks are secure.

Install the terminator; make sure the terminator is fully seated and the bail locks are secure.

If the DS9000 Series unit is the last or only device on the bus, make sure the terminator is installed on the DS9000.

If the DS9000 Series unit is not the last or only device on the bus, check the cable connections and make sure the terminator is installed at the end of the bus.
