Installing Device Drivers

Some operating systems embed (include) the
AHA-2940/2940W device driver as part of their instal-
lation software. These drivers work fine with your
AHA-2940/2940W; however, the most recent version
of the driver should be installed in order for your
AHA-2940/2940W to perform at its optimum level.
If you purchased your AHA-2940/2940W in a kit, the
kit includes the latest Adaptec EZ-SCSI and Adaptec
7800 Family Manager Set software.
Adaptec EZ-SCSI—allows you to install software
drivers for DOS/Windows and several additional
utilities. Refer to the EZ-SCSI User's Guide.
Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set—allows you
to install software drivers for NetWare, OS/2,
Windows NT, and UNIX. Refer to the 7800 Family
Manager Set User's Guide.
If you need to order EZ-SCSI or the 7800 Family
Manager Set, call the number for ordering Adaptec
software and cables listed on page 12.

Troubleshooting Checklist

If you have a problem during installation, check
these items first:
Have you installed the host adapter into a PCI
Rev 2.0 compliant computer?
Are all SCSI devices powered?
Are all SCSI bus cables and power cables properly
connected? Is pin 1 oriented correctly?
Does the host adapter and all devices on the SCSI
bus have unique SCSI IDs?
