The SCSI bus might be improperly terminated. 1. If your HP Surestore DLT1 drive is the last or
only device on the SCSI bus, make sure the device
is properly terminated.

only device on the SCSI bus, check all SCSI cable
connections and make sure the last device on the
SCSI bus is terminated.
The SCSI terminator might not be at the end of
the SCSI bus or more than two terminators
might be present on the SCSI bus.
Make sure the terminators are placed only at each

The SCSI host adapter might be in a defective
expansion slot.
Move the SCSI host adapter to a different
expansion slot.

exceed the ANSI SCSI standard of 3 meters (10

SCSI bus with multiple devices, or 25 meters (82
feet) for an LVD SCSI bus with a single device.
