SCSI Troubleshooting
If the tape drive passes POST with no power or data
cartridge problems, but is still performing poorly, check
for the following SCSI issues.
SCSI Troubleshooting
Possible Problem
Solution
SCSI cables are worn or broken.
Check that SCSI cables are in good condition and
that there are no missing or bent pins in the
connectors.
Your system is not configured to see the SCSI
ID.
Check your system and SCSI bus settings.
Configure your system to recognize the drive.
The SCSI ID is not unique.
Change the SCSI ID. The new ID will take effect
the next time you turn the drive on.
C3
The parameters for your SCSI adapter are
incorrect.
Check your SCSI adapter card. Ensure that the
SCSI interface (single-ended or differential)
matches that of your drive.
The SCSI signal cable is loose.
Ensure that the connector on each end of the cable
is fully seated.
C1
The SCSI terminator is absent or loose.
Install a terminator (if none exists) and make sure
that it is fully seated.
The SCSI bus is not terminated correctly.
Confirm that a terminator is installed on the device
at the end of the SCSI chain.
C4, C5
The SCSI bus is too long.
For single-ended SCSI mode, limit the length of the
bus to 6 meters (19 feet). For differential SCSI
cards, limit the length to 25 meters (82 feet).
Too many devices are connected to the SCSI
bus.
Limit the number of external devices. Try using the
tape drive as a stand-alone device.
