tape system
System may not be configured
to recognize the SCSI ID.

reconfigure the system. The
new ID becomes effective at
the next power on or SCSI bus
reset.

documentation
SCSI signal cable may be loose Ensure SCSI cable is fully seated
at each connector end

SCSI bus may not be
terminated correctly
If tape system is last or only
device on bus (except for
adapter), make sure terminator
is installed on tape system.
If tape system is not the last or
only device on the bus, check
the cable connections and
ensure that the bus is properly
terminated at each end.
SCSI terminator may not be at
end of bus or more than two
terminators may be present
Ensure that a terminator is
installed at each end of the
bus. One terminator is usually
installed at the host end of the
bus.
