Are all SCSI peripherals turned on?
Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?
Is the SCSI Card 2930U2 firmly seated and secured in the PCI
expansion slot?
Is the PCI expansion slot PCI Rev. 2.1 or higher compliant and
does it support Bus Mastering?
Are all SCSI peripherals and the SCSI Card 2930U2 assigned
unique SCSI IDs? (See Setting Up SCSI Peripherals on page 3.)
Are all SCSI peripherals terminated properly? (See Setting Up
SCSI Peripherals on page 3.)
If your computer allows you to set up configuration options
when the computer first boots up (that is, through CMOS
setup), are the following options set up as specified?
If there is an Interrupt Type or Interrupt Line option in the
Setup program, select
Int-A
or
