A failing SCSI device (adapter, drive, controller)
An improper SCSI configuration
Duplicate SCSI IDs in the same SCSI chain
An 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 the system.
The cables for all external SCSI devices are
connected correctly.
The last device in each SCSI chain is terminated
correctly. (See “SCSI Drives” on page 159 for more
SCSI chain information.)
