Troubleshooting
In the event that you have problems getting the PCI-AS300 installed and working
properly, make sure that:
•
all the SCSI devices are turned on.
•
all the cables connects the SCSI devices in a series.
•
all the SCSI devices have a unique ID number on that BUS
•
the last SCSI device is terminated.
•
the BIOS setup correctly identifies the PCI part of the MediaBus slot
Cannot Boot from your SCSI Disk Drive
If you have any non-SCSI hard disk drives installed in your system, the master non-
SCSI drive will be seen as the boot drive. If there are only SCSI drives installed in
your system and will not boot from the primary drive, check the following:
•
Make sure that all hard disk type entries in the BIOS Setup utility's CMOS
setup are set to "None" or "No Drives Installed."
•
Make sure the boot drive's SCSI ID is set to 0
•
Check that the drive has been properly formatted for the operating system you
are using and that the operating system is installed.
If none of the above solves the problem, back-up the drive and try using the SCSISelect
utility to perform a low-level format and verification and then set an active partition
for the operating system you are using and format the drive using your operating
system's format command.
