Troubleshooting
Most problems with the SlimSCSI 1450 result from errors in prepar-
ing and connecting the SCSI devices to it. If you have problems,
check the items below.
Note: If you have problems with a specific SCSI device when
other SCSI devices are working correctly, contact the manu-
facturer of the problem device for troubleshooting
information.
General Hardware Troubleshooting
■
Be sure all SCSI cables and power cables are properly con-
nected and all SCSI devices are powered.
■
Be sure the SlimSCSI 1450 is firmly seated in the PC Card slot.
■
Be sure each SCSI device has a different SCSI ID.
■
Be sure the last (or only) SCSI device on the SCSI bus is
terminated.
■ Be sure at least one SCSI device connected to the SlimSCSI 1450
supplies termination power to the SCSI bus. Otherwise, the
SCSI devices will not work correctly. (Some devices have a
switch to enable or disable termination power. See the device
documentation for more information.)
The SlimSCSI 1450 terminates itself but does not provide ter-
mination power to other devices on the SCSI bus (the adapter
would need to draw this power from the portable PC’s battery,
which would not be desirable).
