Cause

Two drives incorrectly have the same communication channel settings.

Solution

Make sure that all drives are powered up and that all drives have a unique communication channel (assigned by the drive's device number). The communication channel is generally set by red dipswitches on each drive. Refer to the Communication Channel Settings section of the hardware manual for your drive for more information about setting a unique communication channel.

To find duplicate settings, open the A3200 Status Utility (click OK for any warning messages that appear). Click the Drive Nodes tab and look at the Starting Axis row.
