Action
Verify that all of the option hardware and cable
connections are secure.
If the option comes with its own test instructions, use
those instructions to test the option.
If the failing option is a SCSI option, verify that:
1. The cables for all external SCSI options are
connected correctly.
2. The last option in each SCSI chain, or the end of
the SCSI cable, is terminated correctly.
3. All external SCSI options are turned on.
External SCSI options must be turned on before
the system is turned on.
For more information, see your SCSI documentation.
If you cannot correct the problem, have the option
and computer serviced.

on adding adapters.
