Peripheral/adapter problems The system does not recognize a SCSI device. Probable cause The device needs to be added as new hardware The SCSI ID may be invalid The SCSI chain is not properly terminated The device cables are not installed correctly Solution In the Control Panel window (Start | Settings | Control Panel), double-click Add New Hardware. Follow the on-screen instructions for adding the device. Assign an available SCSI ID to the device. Make sure the last device on the SCSI chain is terminated. Open the system and check all cables between the controller and the device. Install the cables correctly if necessary. The system does not recognize an adapter card. Probable cause The interrupt or I/O address is set incorrectly The card was not configured through the software The card was not installed correctly Solution Check the address configuration of the adapter card and make sure that it does not conflict with another card in the system.
