Make sure that the drive is running. Listen carefully for the drive motor spinning. Also, the drive-activity LED flashes when the power is turned on. If the LED stays on after power-on, make sure the interface cable is properly connected and that no other device on the bus is using the same SCSI ID.

∙Verify your host adapter configuration. Make sure the address configurations your host adapter is using do not conflict with the addresses other devices in your system use. Refer to your host adapter’s user guide for assistance. Many host adapters have a diagnostic utility that can help you determine whether such conflicts exist.

Verify that the drive works when your host adapter is set with the factory-default configuration. Refer to your host adapter’s user guide for assistance determining the factory-default set- tings.

∙Check the CMOS drive type. If you have an AT system, the CMOS drive-type parameter values must be set to zero or Not Installed in AT systems.

∙Check the power supply specifications. The output of your power supply may not meet the requirements of the new devices you are installing. If you are not sure whether your power supply meets your needs, consult your dealer.

∙Check for viruses. Before you load new software, scan the diskette for viruses.
