Troubleshooting

If you have a problem during installation, first check
the items below. If you do not find the solution here,
read the remainder of this section. You should also
check the Troubleshooting section in Adaptec EZ-SCSI
User's Guide.
Make sure all cables are properly connected.

Determines the mode configuration and
the amount of time that the MiniSCSI-2
read and write cycles are delayed (parallel
ports on some computers require delays).
You must specify values for both n and m .
The n specifies the amount of delay. Allow-
able values for n are 0 through 7, with each
number representing a 125-nanosecond
(ns) increment. A value of 7, for example,
adds an 875 ns (7 x 125) delay to the cycles.
The default of 0 specifies no delays.
The m parameter determines the mode.
The allowable values are shown in the
following table.
Auto-detect mode (the default). Automatically
detects the type of port and configures the
MiniSCSI-2 for that port type.
Forces unidirectional mode.
Forces bidirectional mode.
Assumes EPP 8-bit bidirectional mode. For this
to work, the parallel port must be set for EPP
mode in the CMOS setup program. For instruc-
tions on using the CMOS setup program, see
your motherboard documentation.
