Troubleshooting
Solution
Restart your server, then press F1 to open the
BIOS Setup utility. From the Advanced | IDE
Configuration menu, set the IDE Controller
to Both and the Primary IDE Master to Auto.
Consult the hard drive user's guide for
instructions on how to configure the drive.
Configure the drive correctly.
Open the server and make sure all cables to
the controller card are connected correctly.
Some servers do not have IDE controller cards
because the IDE controller is built into the
system board.
Check the drive setting and make sure all
jumpers are set for your configuration.
