Problems encountered during installation
Unpacking
The SCSI cable shipped with the drive is not correct
Does the SCSI ID need changing?
How should the SCSI bus be terminated?
Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed?
Description Further information
Some parts appear to be missing or
damaged.
Contact your vendor if any parts need replacing.
Description Further information
The SCSI cable shipped with the drive
does not plug into the SCSI host adapter
of the server.
The cable provided will connect to the majority of
systems. If a different cable is required, you must
order one from your supplier.
Description Further information
SCSI ID 3 is already in use. The Ultriuminternal drive has its SCSI ID set to 3 by
default. This should be left unchanged unless this
number is already in use. Full instructions on how
to change the SCSI ID are given on page 11.
Description Further information
It is unclear if the bus is already
terminated or where an additional
terminator should be placed.
Both ends of a SCSI bus must be terminated.
However, Ultrium external drives do not normally
require terminators. When the cable is connected
to the SCSI-IN connector, the enclosure provides
active termination, providing the drive is the last
device on the SCSI bus. If it is not, use the SCSI-
OUT connector to connect to the next device in the
chain, and make sure that the chain is terminated.
Description Further information
The server already has a SCSI host bus
adapter but it is difficult to determine
what type it is.
You can check the SCSI configuration from the
boot-up screen or from the Windows Control
Panel.
The server may not have a SCSI host bus
adapter installed.
If not, you will need to purchase one. See
“supported SCSI bus types” on page 9.
