termination on all devices between the drive and the device at the other end of the cable. See “SCSI termination” on page 5.

•Make sure the drive is running. Listen carefully to determine whether the drive motor is spinning. Also, the drive-activity LED should flash when the power is turned on. If the LED stays on after power-on, make sure the interface cable is prop- erly connected and that no other device on the cable is using the same SCSI ID.

•Check the drive type settings in the system setup pro- gram. The CMOS drive-type must be set to none, zero or not installed.

•Verify your SCSI host adapter configuration. Make sure your host adapter is not using an I/O address or interrupt that conflicts with other devices in your system. Refer to your host adapter’s guide for assistance. Host adapters have a diagnos- tic utility that can help you determine whether such conflicts exist.

•Check your power-supply specifications. Each time you add a new device to your computer, make sure your com- puter’s internal power supply can support the total power demand. If necessary, consult your dealer for a new power supply.

•Check for viruses. Before you use someone else’s diskette in your system for the first time, scan the diskette for viruses.

•Isolate the drive. If there is more than one drive in your sys- tem, try disconnecting all drives except the new one. Then configure and install only the new drive. This test helps deter- mine whether a compatibility problem exists. If you are install- ing the drive in a network, verify that the drive works with DOS.
