Verify that each of the SCSI devices on the bus has its own distinct SCSI ID number
and all peripherals are receiving power. Refer to your peripheral manual for informa-
tion regarding changing SCSI IDs.
Verify the SCSI Termination is set correctly. Make sure the last peripheral on the
SCSI bus has termination. See the peripheral manual for proper termination
information.
After the above steps are executed, if you are still not recognizing all attached
