Troubleshooting
General Troubleshooting
Check these items first if your SlimSCSI adapter and
SCSI devices do not operate properly.
Be sure that all SCSI cables and power cables are
firmly connected and all SCSI devices are turned
Be sure the SlimSCSI adapter is firmly inserted in the
CardBus slot.
Be sure each SCSI device has a different SCSI ID.
Be sure the last (or only) SCSI device on the SCSI bus
is terminated.
Be sure at least one SCSI device connected to the
SlimSCSI adapter supplies termination power to the
SCSI bus. SCSI devices require termination power in
order to operate correctly. Most SCSI devices do sup-
ply termination power, but some types of devices
such as CD-ROM drives and tape drives do not.
In order to conserve the portable PC's battery power,
the SlimSCSI adapter does not provide termination
power to other devices on the SCSI bus.
Windows 95 Troubleshooting
Follow these steps to assure that Windows 95 Card and
Socket Services is installed and is running correctly on
your portable PC:
1
Insert the SlimSCSI adapter in the PC Card slot, if it is
not already inserted.
2
Select Settings and Control Panel.
3
Double-click the System icon, and then select the
Device Manager tab.
4
If PCMCIA Socket is not listed, or if it is listed but has
a yellow exclamation point or a red X next to it, Card
and Socket Services has not been loaded properly or
is not configured properly. See your Windows 95 doc-
umentation for more information.
5
If SCSI Controller is not listed under the Device Man-
ager tab, or if it is listed but has a yellow exclamation
point next to APA-1480 Cardbus Controller, the Slim-
SCSI adapter has not been initialized properly. Follow
these steps to correct this:
–
Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon in the
Control Panel.
–
If Adaptec APA-1480 CardBus SCSI Controller is
listed, select it and click the Stop button.
–
When you see the message It is OK to remove
APA-1480, remove the card and click OK.
–
Re-insert the card. The yellow exclamation point
on the Device Manager tab should disappear.
