Using a Standard Drive as C and a SCSI Drive as D
•
Use the Setup program to map the second standard hard disk (if one exists)
out of the configuration.
•
Disable Onboard SCSI Boot in Setup.
•
Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive D is set to SCSI ID 0. Check the
drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device. You can
also use the SCSISelect utility to determine the SCSI addresses of peripherals
on the SCSI bus.
•
Be sure that SCSI parity checking is consistently enabled or disabled on all
devices on the SCSI bus.
•
Verify that the SCSI controller and the SCSI devices are properly configured
and installed.
•
Be sure to cycle the power OFF and ON after changing any values on a SCSI
controller, in a Setup program, or on a SCSI device. Doing this ensures that
the new initial values are loaded.
•
Be sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated.
•
Be sure that the disk is formatted and has a partition.
•
Check cable connections and pin-1 orientation.
Using a SCSI Drive as C and Another SCSI Drive as D
•
Make sure your computer's CMOS Setup is set to Onboard IDE-Disabled, as
is required for SCSI host controllers. Also ensure Onboard SCSI Boot is
Enabled.
•
Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive C is set to SCSI ID 0. Check the
disk drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device. You
can also use the SCSISelect utility to determine the SCSI addresses of
peripherals on the SCSI bus.
