Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?)
Q: Why I see "NO ROM BASIC SYSTEM HALTED" when booting?
A: There isn't any activated primary partition in you system. Please use FDISK or any other utilities to
create/set one.
Do & Don't:
1. Do always use the same model drives to achieve best quality and performance. Different firmware has
different timing characteristic, thus may somewhat decrease the RAID performance.
2. If you have two drives, do connect them on two different channels as master drive please.
3. When attach drives to the RAID card, do make sure the master/slave jumper settings are correct
please. If there is only one drive on one channel/cable, do set it as master or single drive.
4. Do always use 80 conductor cables please.
5. Don't connect any ATAPI devices (CD-ROM, LS-120, MO, ZIP etc.) on the RAID card please.
6. For the best performance result, please do use the Ultra DMA 66/100 Hard Disks.
