Have you tried re-seating all your PCI cards and the expansion chassis cables? Also, try a different computer to expansion chassis cable.

Is the expansion chassis turned on? (Sorry if this sounds stupid, but sometimes people locate their expansion chassis in an inaccessible location, and might not notice.)

yeah, I'm skeptical of their cables. I just had my second 1.5m cable go bad (1st one shipped bad). Luckily I have a 1m on hand.
I'm extremely gentle with these as well...
so it wouldn't suprise me if it's the cable.

I have tried everything I could. But still got same result, as I mention they just
Couldn’t work together normally, DigiSystem always shows up "
Bus Error" message while it boots up. I also try my friend’s computer G4 450HZ. It’s the same. I even try empty chassis connect to my or my friend’s computer. Still got bus errors. I think probably something wrong with my chassis? What should I do? Send it to digi repair? Or upgrade Rom from SBS? Or do I need any software to test my cable, which is come with my chassis? Please help! Digi Tech! Thanks!

PS. I just bought it month ago.
