Answer

The drive may need to be repaired however a few things must be confirmed,
| 1. | Ensure the power cable is correctly connected to the MO drive. |
| 2. | Ensure the SCSI interface cable is correctly connected and fully seated in the socket. |
| 3. | Check to see if there is anything wrong with SCSI cable, such as bent pins (in the connector or socket). Handle with care, especially in the case of the high-density connector type. |
| 4. | Ensure each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID. (Refer to your manual for instruction on how to change the SCSI ID.) |
| 5. | Confirm if the SCSI host adapter is correctly installed from the Device Manager. In case NT 4.0, check under the SCSI Adapter icon in the Control Panels. If SCSI host adapter is not recognized, contact your SCSI adapter's manufacturer. |
