Installation Troubleshooting
for the card or contact the manufacturer to get it working. There may
be a resource conflict with other devices in the computer. If the X or
exclamation mark disappears when you disconnect the CD-Writer
Plus and restart the computer, the problem could be an ID conflict.
Make sure each SCSI device has a different SCSI ID (see below).
Make sure the SCSI adapter card and any other expansion cards are
firmly seated.
Make sure the CD-Writer Plus has a unique SCSI ID.
A SCSI card may have several devices attached to form a SCSI chain.
Each device in the chain must have a different ID.
If you already installed the software that came with the CD-Writer
Plus you can obtain a list of the SCSI devices in your computer and
the IDs they use. Click the Start button on your taskbar, point to
Programs, HP CD-Writer Plus, Utilities, and click List SCSI
Devices. Make sure the SCSI ID on the CD-Writer Plus is not used by
any other SCSI device.
To learn how to change the SCSI ID on the CD-Writer Plus see page 6.
Make sure the devices in the SCSI chain are terminated
correctly.
The devices at both ends of a SCSI chain must be terminated. The
devices in the middle of the chain must not be terminated. (SCSI
devices have resistors that can be removed, or switches to change a
device from terminated to not terminated.)
The CD-Writer Plus adjusts its termination automatically.
If the CD-Writer Plus is the last of several devices in a chain
connected to one SCSI card, remove the termination in the device
that was previously at the end of the chain. See the documentation
provided with the device to learn how to disable the termination.
Make sure the SCSI card is terminated correctly.
Like other devices in a SCSI chain the card itself must have the
appropriate termination. Most SCSI cards are terminated when
shipped.
If you previously had only internal SCSI devices and the CD-Writer
Plus is the first external device in the chain, you may have to remove
or disable the termination on the SCSI card. While most newer SCSI
cards adjust automatically, consult the documentation that came
