Troubleshooting Questions and Answers 3 In the SCSI Adapters window, click Properties to find which resources are in use. What if there is no SCSI Controller icon under Device Manager, or the software driver for the SCSI Card 2906 does not appear under Device Manager? Generally, when the SCSI Card 2906 software driver is not listed in the Device Manager, the system BIOS is not giving the SCSI Card 2906 any resources. Check for available resources (see the previous question). If resources are available, install the SCSI Card 2906 in another PCI slot. Note: The SCSI Card 2906 software driver may also be listed as PCI SCSI Bus Controller under the Other Devices icon in Device Manager. If it is listed there, reinstall the driver. (See the troubleshooting section on page 26 for instructions.) If the SCSI Controllers icon or the software driver do not appear: 1 Double-click Add New Hardware in the Control Panel. 2 Select Yes on the second screen of the Add New Hardware Wizard to have Windows search for the SCSI Card 2906. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions. If Windows 95/98 does not detect the SCSI card, run the Add New Hardware wizard again: 1 In the Control Panel, double-click Add New Hardware. 2 In the second screen of the wizard, click No. 3 Select SCSI controllers. 4 Select the model of your Adaptec SCSI Card. If SCSI Card 2906 is not on the list, you may be able to install a SCSI card driver from the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM (or from the Adaptec EZ-SCSI Setup Diskette): 1 Place the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive (or insert the Adaptec EZ-SCSI Setup Diskette in the floppy disk drive) and run the Add New Hardware wizard. 2 Select No on the second screen of the wizard. 3 Select SCSI controllers. 26
