Be sure that the intended boot disk has an active partition and has been formatted. 7. Check cable connections and pin-1 orientation. Using a Standard Drive as C and a SCSI Drive as D 1. Use the Setup program to map the second standard hard disk (if one exists) out of the configuration. 2. Disable Onboard SCSI Boot in Setup. 3. Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive D is set to SCSI ID 0. Check the drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device. You can also use the SCSISelect utility to determine the SCSI addresses of peripherals on the SCSI bus. See the section "Host Adapter SCSI ID". 4. Be sure that SCSI parity checking is consistently enabled or disabled on all devices on the SCSI bus. 5. Verify that the SCSI controller and the SCSI devices are properly configured and installed. 6. Be sure to cycle the power OFF and ON after changing any values on a SCSI controller, in a Setup program, or on a SCSI device. Doing this ensures that the new initial values are loaded. 7. Be sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated. 8. Be sure that the disk is formatted and has a partition. 9. Check cable connections and pin-1 orientation. Using a SCSI Drive as C and Another SCSI Drive as D 1. Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive C is set to SCSI ID 0. Check the disk drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device. You can also use the SCSISelect utility to determine the SCSI addresses of peripherals on the SCSI bus.See the section "Host Adapter SCSI ID". 2. Set the SCSI drive to be used as drive D to SCSI ID 1. Check the drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device. 3.

Be sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated. See the section “Setting
SCSI Bus Termination”.
6.
Be sure that the intended boot disk has an active partition and has been
formatted.
7.
Check cable connections and pin-1 orientation.
Using a Standard Drive as C and a SCSI Drive as D
1.
Use the
Setup
program to map the second standard hard disk (if one exists)
out of the configuration.
2.
Disable Onboard SCSI Boot in Setup.
3.
Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive D is set to SCSI ID 0. Check
the drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device.
You
can also use the SCSI
Select
utility to determine the SCSI addresses of
peripherals on the SCSI bus. See the section “Host Adapter SCSI ID”.
4.
Be sure that SCSI parity checking is consistently enabled or disabled on all
devices on the SCSI bus.
5.
Verify that the SCSI controller and the SCSI devices are properly configured
and installed.
6.
Be sure to cycle the power OFF and ON after changing any values on a SCSI

Be sure that the disk is formatted and has a partition.
9.
Check cable connections and pin-1 orientation.
Using a SCSI Drive as C and Another SCSI Drive as D
1.
Be sure that the SCSI drive to be used as drive C is set to SCSI ID 0. Check
the disk drive manual for information on setting the SCSI ID for that device.
You can also use the SCSI
Select
utility to determine the SCSI addresses of
peripherals on the SCSI bus.See the section “Host Adapter SCSI ID”.
