Common Error Messages

Here is what you should do if the following messages appear at
bootup:
"Device connected, but not ready"
The host received no answer when it requested data from an
installed SCSI device.
®
1 Run SCSISelect and set the Send Start Unit Command to Yes
for the particular SCSI device ID. See Starting SCSISelect on
page 19.
2 Ensure that the device is set to spin up when the power is
switched on. The spin up option is typically set by a jumper.
(See the documentation for the device.)
"Start unit request failed"
The SCSI card BIOS was unable to send a Start Unit Command to
the device. Verify that all cables are properly connected. Run SCSISe-
lect and enable the Send Start Unit Command to the device. If the
error still occurs, the SCSI device may be defective.
"Time-out failure during..."
An unexpected time-out occurred.
1 Verify that the SCSI bus is properly terminated.
2 Verify that all cables are properly connected.
3 Verify that SCSISelect's Device Configuration options are set
correctly. See SCSI Device Configuration on page 20.
Try disconnecting the SCSI device cables from the SCSI card and
then starting the computer. If the computer successfully restarts, one
of the SCSI devices may be defective.
