    Where is the wrap plug? Use diag and wrap test it.

    Check your terminator, make sure that you are using an LVD terminator and
    not an HVD terminator.

    Also, check for bent pins on all the cables and the terminator. Even one
    will cause a grounding problem that will result in hardware errors.
