Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation

Time out waiting for initial bus free phase, status phase or data phase

This means you have some kind of problem with the SCSI cable or a problem with termination.

1. Power down the computer and the Pioneer Changer and re-seat

the cable. Make sure it is securely attached. If the problem persists, replace the cable.

2. Check termination. If the Pioneer Changer is the only device or the last device on the SCSI chain, termination should be ON. If it is in the middle of a SCSI chain, termination should be OFF.

The DRM-604X has a termination switch on the back panel that can be set ON or OFF. The DRM-602X sets termination by placing DIP switch 2 in an UP/ON position or a DOWN/OFF position.

2. Power down the computer and the changer, disconnect the cable

from the back of the computer and restart . If you get an error message that reads “Time Out During Selection Phase”, you may have a bad cable or a poor connection. Reseat the cable or change it and try again.

3. If the problem persists, it may be a interface card conflict, a bad

extension slot, or a problem with the interface card. Try changing the address of the interface card. Refer to interface card documentation. Try placing the interface card in another slot. Try replacing the interface card.
