Hard Disk Drive Activity LED Doesn't Work

If the hard disk drive activity LED does not flicker when the Workstation
is accessing the hard disk drive:
1. Make sure the control panel connector is firmly attached to the
system board.
2. Ensure the hard disk drive power and SCSI cables are correctly
connected as described in "SCSI Hard Drive" on page 169.

CD-ROM, DVD or CD-RW Drive Doesn't Work

1. Check that a CD (or DVD) is inserted in the drive.
2. Ensure all cables (data, power and audio) have been properly
connected both to the drive and to the system board as described in
"CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD" on page 173.
3. Verify that the drive has been detected in the Setup program
Advanced menu by displaying the IDE Devices as described in
"Advanced Menu" on page 52. You should see a drive declared in the
IDE Secondary Master
4. If you intend to boot from the CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD, place the
device before the hard disk drive in the boot order as described in
"Boot Menu" on page 57.

CD-RW Won't Allow Recording

If you can read a CD in your CD-RW, but you can't write to a CD, you
may be missing the CD-RW software.
If you have a CD-RW in your Workstation, you must install the software
that came with the drive before you can write to the device. For more
information, refer to the Adaptec Easy CD Creator disc that came with
your CD-RW.
