Adaptec SlimSCSI Installation Guide - Page 4

Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting Check these items first if your SlimSCSI adapter and SCSI devices do not operate properly. s Be sure that all SCSI cables and power cables are firmly connected and all SCSI devices are turned ON. s Be sure the SlimSCSI adapter is firmly inserted in the CardBus slot. s Be sure each SCSI device has a different SCSI ID. s Be sure the last (or only) SCSI device on the SCSI bus is terminated. s Be sure at least one SCSI device connected to the SlimSCSI adapter supplies termination power to the SCSI bus. SCSI devices require termination power in order to operate correctly. Most SCSI devices do supply termination power, but some types of devices such as CD-ROM drives and tape drives do not. In order to conserve the portable PC's battery power, the SlimSCSI adapter does not provide termination power to other devices on the SCSI bus. Windows 95 Troubleshooting Follow these steps to assure that Windows 95 Card and Socket Services is installed and is running correctly on your portable PC: 1 Insert the SlimSCSI adapter in the PC Card slot, if it is not already inserted. 2 Select Settings and Control Panel. 3 Double-click the System icon, and then select the Device Manager tab. 4 If PCMCIA Socket is not listed, or if it is listed but has a yellow exclamation point or a red X next to it, Card and Socket Services has not been loaded properly or is not configured properly. See your Windows 95 documentation for more information. 5 If SCSI Controller is not listed under the Device Man- ager tab, or if it is listed but has a yellow exclamation point next to APA-1480 Cardbus Controller, the SlimSCSI adapter has not been initialized properly. Follow these steps to correct this: - Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon in the Control Panel. - If Adaptec APA-1480 CardBus SCSI Controller is listed, select it and click the Stop button. - When you see the message It is OK to remove APA-1480, remove the card and click OK. - Re-insert the card. The yellow exclamation point on the Device Manager tab should disappear.
