Troubleshooting Checklist

Check the following if you have problems installing or running the
AAA-13xSA RAID card adapter and SCSI peripherals:
Does the AAA-13xSA RAID card BIOS sign-on message
appear during bootup? If not, check the following items:
– Is the AAA-13xSA RAID card adapter properly seated in a
PCI expansion slot? Refer to your computer documentation
for the slot location.
– Does your computer CMOS setup require you to enable
PCI bus parameters (see your computer documentation)? If
so, run the CMOS Setup program and assign the parame-
ters—usually IRQ, Enable PCI Slot, and Enable Master.
– Does the motherboard chipset meet the minimum require-
ments listed on System Requirements on page 1-2 (especially
PCI-to-PCI bridge support)? If not, contact your vendor for
a motherboard firmware upgrade.
Is the SCSI bus terminated properly, and are all SCSI peripher-
als turned on?
Are all SCSI bus cables and power cables connected?
Does each channel and each peripheral on the channel have a
unique SCSI ID?
