An unexpected time-out occurred. Check SCSI bus termination. Try disconnecting
the SCSI peripheral cables from the SCSI controller and then starting the
computer. If the computer successfully restarts, check SCSI bus termination and
cable connections. One of the devices on the SCSI bus may be defective.
7.6.3 Disk Drive Configuration Problems
This section describes situations that may occur if your computer has multiple
disk drives, including combinations of standard disk drives and SCSI disk drives.
“Standard disk drive” means a disk drive
attached to the computer through a standard
ISA/EISA, non-SCSI disk controller—for
example, an IDE drive.
Standard hard disk drives can be set to the installed or not installed state by the
Setup program supplied with the host computer. The Setup program allows you
to select the number of standard hard disks that are recognized by the computer,
regardless of whether they are physically installed. SCSI drives are not controlled
through the Setup program.
If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed, then the non-SCSI disk drive
is always the boot device.
