drive has been detected by the PC.
When an Additional IDE Drive is installed
1 Switch on the PC.

Refer to the operating system documentation for information about formatting a drive and
installing the operating system.
If the SCSI Hard Disk Stops Working
If the SCSI subsystem has been operating properly for a reasonable length of time, and if no
specific errors appear on the display, the problem may be due to equipment failure. The
problem may also be due to some recent change you have made to the system.
1 If you have made recent changes to the software, such as changes to configuration files or
drivers, this could cause the problem. Refer to the software documentation for more
information.
2 If you have installed a board, ensure there is not a resource conflict between the new
board you have added and existing boards. If you have changed the options on an existing
board there may be a resource conflict:
a Remove the new board and restart the computer. If this corrects the problem, the
board is either defective, or it is trying to use a system resource used by the SCSI
subsystem. Change the board's settings as needed.
b Check that the new board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or DMA also
used by the SCSI subsystem. Refer to the board's and SCSI subsystem manuals for
more information.
3 Check the SCSI cable for problems that may have been caused by recent computer
maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage.
4 If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each
component associated with the failure. Equipment failure, however, is the most unlikely
reason for a SCSI subsystem failure.
