Page 7: Overview
This User’s Reference provides information about troubleshooting, SCSI termination, and other important topics. It also explains how to use the built-in SCSISelect utility if you need to change the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 settings. Note: Read the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 Installation Guide if you need instructions on installing the SCSI Card or con- necting SCSI devices to it. -

SCSI bus must be properly terminated. SCSI IDs Each device attached to the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160, as well as the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time. -
Page 9: Terminating The Scsi Bus
SCSI hard disk drive. If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive connected to the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160, the Boot Target ID setting in the SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. - Page 10 By default, termination on the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 itself is set to Automatic (the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this default setting.

Verify that your system is configured for optimal perfor- mance. (Make sure you are not in Safe Mode.) How can I tell if the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 driver is loading properly? Right click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop. - Page 13 Update Driver. Follow the on-screen instruc- tions. An “X” inside a red circle appears with the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 software driver in Device Manager. What does this mean? It means that the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 software driver is dis- abled and isn’t loading.
- Page 14 Adaptec SCSI Card 19160. Follow the on-screen instructions. If Windows 95/98 does not detect the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160, get the driver disk or CD included with the SCSI card and click Next. Click Next again to continue to the Manufactures/Models lists.
- Page 15 Troubleshooting The setting, and the hardware using the setting, are displayed. If a specific resource is not listed, the resource is not used by a device. If a resource is listed more than once, the resource is used by more than one device. If a resource is used by an unknown device, the resource is used but the device using the resource cannot be detected.

Page 16: Common Error Messages
If the computer successfully restarts, one of the SCSI devices may be defective. Note: The following error message entries refer to the SCSI connectors and SCSI segments on the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160. See Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives on page 12. - Page 17 Troubleshooting “Attention! Too many devices are terminated on the SE connectors” The SCSI card BIOS has detected that more than two devices have been terminated on the narrow SE SCSI segment. Verify the termina- tion on the devices connected to the internal and external connec- tors.
