Troubleshooting

D. ADAPTEC EZ-SCSI

If the name of your SCSI chipset does not appear, you may be able to find its miniport driver on the Windows95 CD-ROM. Follow these steps:

1Place the Windows95 CD-ROM in your CDROM drive and run the Add New Hardware wizard.

2Select No on the second screen, and select SCSI controllers on the next screen.

3Click on the Have Disk button, then click the Browse button.

4Look in the \drivers\storage directory of the CDROM and select the name of your SCSI host adapter if it appears.

What if a yellow exclamation point or a red X appears in Device Manager in front of my host adapter?

This means there is some kind of resource problem. First, see if the names of any host adapters appear that are not actually installed in your computer. If so, select the name and click Remove. If a red X appears in front of your host adapter name, remove all the host adapter references under SCSI Controllers and run Add New Hardware, as described in the previous question/answer. If a yellow exclamation point appears in front of your host adapter name, the resources that the driver uses probably do not match the resources used by the hardware. Double-click the host adapter name, then click on the Resource tab. Deselect the Use automatic settings box and edit the resources (Interrupt Request, Direct Memory Access, etc.) so they match those used by the host adapter. If the problem still remains, there is probably a hardware resource conflict between the host adapter and other hardware in your computer. You can fix this by changing the hardware resource settings. (See your hardware documentation.)

What do I need to do if I want to use another host adapter?

1Open the Control Panel, double-click on System, and click the Device Man- ager tab.

2Double-click the SCSI Controllers icon, select the name of the old host adapter, and click Remove.

3Turn OFF the computer and physically remove the currently installed host adapter.

4Install the new host adapter according to the instructions in the hardware docu- mentation.

5Turn the computer ON. If the new host adapter supports Plug and Play, Win- dows will install and configure it automatically. Otherwise, run Add New Hard- ware to make sure the new driver is loaded.
