Troubleshooting Checklist
Check the following items first if you have a prob-
lem during installation:
Are all SCSI peripheral devices powered?
Are all SCSI bus cables and power cables properly
connected?
Does each SCSI device have a unique SCSI ID?
Are all devices on the SCSI bus terminated
properly?
PC Will Not Boot from a SCSI Disk Drive
If your PC has both SCSI and IDE disk drives, the
IDE disk drive is always the boot device. If the PC
has only SCSI disk drives, check the following:
1
Make sure your PC's CMOS setup is set to No
Drives Installed, which is required for SCSI host
adapters.
2
Make sure the SCSI ID of the boot hard disk is 0
and the boot partition is active. (The SCSI ID is
usually set with jumpers or switches on the
drive.)
3
If this does not solve the problem, back up all data
on the SCSI hard disk and perform a low-level
format with the SCSISelect Format Disk option.
4
Partition the disk. See the MS-DOS User's Guide
for instructions.
