Double-click the System icon, then select the Device Manager

tab.

Double-click SCSI controllers. The driver for the SlimSCSI

adapter is listed as Adaptec APA-1480 CardBus UltraSCSI

Adapter.

■

If the driver is listed, this means it is loaded properly.

■

If the driver is listed but has an exclamation mark inside a

yellow circle, it is in a problem state (usually indicating a

conflict with other hardware using the same resources.)

■

If the driver is listed but has an ‘X’ inside a red circle, this

indicates that it is disabled and is not loading.

■

If the SCSI controllers icon or the APA-1480 CardBus driver

is not listed, reinstall the driver (see directions on page 5.)

Note:

Software upgrades (including downloadable drivers)

for Adaptec products are available on the Adaptec Web site

at http://www.adaptec.com
