I'm not familiar with a 2930 controller. It sounds old (i..e precurser to 2940 which is pretty ancient). Your best bet is to download adaptec docs on proper SCSI bus termination and check/fix as needed...<br><br><br>You <br><div> </div>-- David J.

the motherboards in these servers. All servers are running (as of
