disk drives back in, one at a time, until the failing device is isolated.
c. Disconnect all other internal SCSI devices. If the boot device is present in the boot list when the
system is booted to the SMS menus, reconnect the internal SCSI devices, one at a time, until the
failing device or cable is isolated.
d. Replace the SCSI cables.
e. Replace the PCI riser card.
f. Replace the SCSI backplane.
