SCSI Bus Troubleshooting Procedure

If the host cannot access any of the devices connected to the SCSI bus, check the following:

1.Check SCSI cables for loose connections and bent pins.

2.Check SCSI terminator connections. A differential terminator on a single-ended bus or a single-ended terminator on a differential bus will cause the bus to hang. If a terminator is missing, storage system modules may not pass power-on self-test.

3.Check the SCSI ID switches for conflicting SCSI ID numbers.

4.Check the host bus adapter to see if it includes on-board termination and termination power, or if they must be supplied externally.

5.Reseat all storage modules.

If there is a SCSI bus problem with a disk module, see Table 10.
