terminated correctly
If tape system is last or only
device on bus (except for

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.
