Troubleshooting Checklist

Most problems with using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 result from errors in preparing and connecting devices on the SCSI bus. If you have problems, check these items first.

Note: If you have problems with a specific SCSI device when other connected SCSI devices are working correctly, please contact the manufacturer of the problem device for trouble- shooting information.

Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?

Are all SCSI devices turned on?

Have you connected SCSI devices to no more than two of the three SCSI Channel A connectors? If you connected devices to all three connectors, disconnect devices from one connector!

Is the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 firmly seated and secured in the PCI expansion slot?

Is the PCI expansion slot compliant with PCI Rev. 2.1 or higher, and does it support Bus Mastering?

Are all SCSI devices on each SCSI bus assigned unique SCSI IDs?

Are all SCSI devices terminated properly?
