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 prop-
erly connected? Is pin 1 oriented correctly?
Does the host adapter and all devices on the SCSI
bus have unique SCSI IDs?
Are all devices on the SCSI bus terminated
properly?
Does your system CMOS setup require you to
enable PCI bus parameters? If so, see your
computer's documentation. Check that IRQ
channel assignment, board, and BIOS settings
have been made.
Did you install your host adapter in a bus master
PCI slot? Refer to your computer's documenta-
tion or try another slot.
Computer Will Not Boot from a SCSI Disk Drive
If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed,
then the non-SCSI disk drive is always the boot
device. If the system has only SCSI disk drives, do
the following:
1
Make sure the drive type in your computer's
CMOS setup is set to No Drives Installed.
2
Make sure the boot hard disk SCSI ID corre-
sponds to the Boot Target ID setting in SCSISelect
(see page 7). The SCSI ID is normally 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.
See the MS-DOS documentation for instructions
on partitioning the disk after formatting.
