AHA-2740 Series User's Manual Problems and Solutions The screen is difficult to read when I run the EISA Configuration utility. Try pressing F5 to toggle the display between color and monochrome modes. This may enable you to read the screen more easily. I installed the host adapter, and my computer will not boot from the SCSI disk drive. If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed, then the nonSCSI disk drive is always the boot device. If your system has only SCSI disk drives: ® 1 Make sure your computer system's CMOS setup is set to No Drives Installed, as is required for SCSI host adapters. 2 Try setting the SCSI boot drive to SCSI ID 0. This is normally done by changing jumpers or switches on the drive. On each SCSI bus, SCSI devices must be set to a unique SCSI ID, which range from 0 to 7. See SCSI ID Setting in Chapter 2. 3 Try enabling Include in BIOS Scan in the BIOS and SCSI Device Configuration option. See Configure BIOS and SCSI Device in Chapter 3. 4 Make sure the SCSI bus is properly terminated. See Termination on the SCSI Bus in Chapter 2. 5 You may need to low-level format the SCSI hard drive. If so, first back up all data on the disk, then run the format utility accessible through the EISA Configuration utility. See Utilities in Chapter 3. Similar formatting utilities for removable media devices are included in the Adaptec EZ-SCSI software package for the DOS/Windows environment. Refer to Appendix B, I/O Operating Environment.

Problems and Solutions
The screen is difficult to read when I run the EISA Configuration utility.
Try pressing
F5
to toggle the display between color and mono-
chrome modes. This may enable you to read the screen more easily.
I installed the host adapter, and my computer will not boot from the
SCSI disk drive.
If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed, then the non-
SCSI disk drive is
always
the boot device. If your system has only
SCSI disk drives:
1
Make sure your computer system’s CMOS
setup
is set to
No
Drives Installed
, as is required for SCSI host adapters.
2
Try setting the SCSI boot drive to SCSI ID 0. This is nor-
mally done by changing jumpers or switches on the drive. On
each SCSI bus, SCSI devices must be set to a unique SCSI
ID, which range from 0 to 7. See
SCSI ID Setting
in Chapter
2.
3
Try enabling
Include in BIOS Scan
in the
BIOS and SCSI
Device Configuration
option. See
Configure BIOS and
SCSI Device
in Chapter 3.
4
Make sure the SCSI bus is properly terminated. See
Termination on the SCSI Bus
in Chapter 2.
5
You may need to low-level format the SCSI hard drive. If so,
first back up all data on the disk, then run the
format
utility
accessible through the EISA Configuration utility. See
Utilities
in Chapter 3.
Similar formatting utilities for removable media devices are
included in the Adaptec EZ-SCSI software package for the
DOS/Windows environment. Refer to Appendix B,
I/O
Operating Environment
. These utilities are also available
from the Adaptec BBS.
