Is the SCSI controller enabled/recognized?
Most servers have integrated SCSI controllers on the motherboard. Ensure that the controller to which this device is attached is enabled. If the drive is attached to a SCSI card, make certain the card is being recognized while the computer is starting up. • Is the drive getting good power? To check whether the drive is getting power, insert a tape. Typically, you will see the LED illuminate and the tape is inserted much like a front loading VCR accepts tapes. Depending on the environment, you may or may not hear the tape winding. If it is not exhibiting these behaviors, try using a known good power connection from another device in the computer. It is normal for some extra power connectors to be available in most configurations. • Is the data cable firmly attached? Reseat the SCSI cable on the drive and the SCSI controller. Sometimes, when a product is newly installed, simple thermal changes can cause a cable to become loose. Another possibility is that factory residue has built up on
