Device connected, but not ready

This message appears if the SCSI controller receives no answer when it requests
data from an installed SCSI device. The SCSI controller skips this device and
moves on to the next device on the bus.
Do the following if you see this message when you request data from a SCSI drive:
1. Run the SCSISelect utility and access SCSI Device Configuration. Locate the
host controller's SCSI ID and set Send Start Unit Command to yes.
2. Exit the SCSISelect utility and request data from the drive again.
3. If the message still appears, follow the drive manufacturer's instructions to
make sure the drive is set to spin-up when the power is switched ON.
