Adaptec AVA-2902E Installation Guide - Page 6

s Windows® 95 has embedded driver support for the AVA-2902E/I host adapter. After you install the host adapter and reboot your PC, follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver installation. s Versions 4.0 and 3.51 of Windows NT™ have embedded driver support for the AVA-2902E/I host adapter. Refer to the operating system documentation for instructions on loading these drivers. If you have Adaptec EZ-SCSI software or the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set, you can load an updated version of the Windows NT driver by following the instructions in the software documentation. 3 Technical Tips s If your host adapter and SCSI device do not seem to be working properly, check these items first. - If you have an external SCSI device, did you turn it ON before you booted the PC? - Are all SCSI cables and power cables securely connected? - Is the host adapter firmly seated in the PCI slot? - Is the SCSI device terminated? s You cannot boot your PC from a SCSI disk drive connected to the AVA-2902E/I host adapter, because the host adapter does not have a BIOS. Your PC must boot from another disk device. s Does your PC's CMOS setup require you to enable PCI bus parameters? If so, refer to the PC documentation for instructions. Verify that IRQ channel assignment, board, and BIOS settings have been made. Note: Some configuration options apply to a specific PCI bus slot, so be sure you apply any option changes to the slot in which the host adapter is installed. (Check the PC documentation for more information.) 5 AVA-2902E/I Installation Guide Part Number: 511444-00, Rev. A Print Spec Number: 496495-00 Current Date: 3/26/97 ECN Date: 4/2/97
