9.2.3. Tracking down problems

The following list is an attempt to give a guideline for the most common SCSI problems and their solutions. It is by no means complete.

• Check for loose connectors and cables.

• Check and doublecheck the location and number of your terminators.

• Check if your bus has at least one supplier of terminator power (especially with external terminators.

• Check if no double target IDs are used.

• Check if at least one device provides terminator power to the bus.

• Check if all devices to be used are powered up.

• Make a minimal bus config with as little devices as possible.

• If possible, configure your host adapter to use slow bus speeds.
