5 Troubleshooting In this Chapter First Steps 5-1 Troubleshooting Q & A – General 5-3 Troubleshooting Q & A – Windows 95/98 Only 5-5 Troubleshooting Q & A – Windows NT 4.0 5-9 First Steps Most problems with the SCSI Card 2930CU result from errors in preparing and connecting devices on the SCSI bus.
Troubleshooting ■ On some computers, you can set up configuration options when the computer first boots up (through CMOS setup). If your computer has this feature, check that these options are set up as specified: ■ Interrupt Type or Interrupt Line option is set to Int-A or Interrupt Type = A. (Also check the motherboard jumper setting). ■ Triggering Interrupt option is set to Level. ■ Bus mastering for the PCI slots is set to Enabled.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Q & A – General How can I tell if the SCSI Card 2930CU software driver is loading properly? Follow the instructions for your operating system as provided in Chapter 4, Installing Drivers. Why does an X inside a red circle appear by the SCSI Card 2930CU software driver in Device Manager? The SCSI Card 2930CU software driver is disabled and isn’t loading. To enable the driver 1 Double-click the SCSI card software driver in Device Manager.
Troubleshooting Common Error Messages “Device connected, but not ready” The SCSI card received no answer when it requested data from an installed SCSI device. Make sure the drive is set to spin up when the power is turned on. (Refer to the device’s documentation.) If you still have problems, you may have a bad drive. If you can still access your computer 1 Click Start, point to Programs>Accessories>System Tools, then click ScanDisk. 2 Click Start, then wait a few moments for results.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Q & A – Windows 95/98 Only When I start Windows 95/98, the system locks up when the Windows logo displays. How can I get the system to start so that I can verify that the SCSI card is functioning normally? 1 Start or restart your computer. View the messages that appear. 2 When this message appears: Starting Windows 95/98 press and release F8 while the text is on your screen 3 From the menu that displays, select Safe Mode. (It may take extra time for Windows to load.
Troubleshooting Where do I check for conflicting or unavailable resources? 1 Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control Panel. 2 Double-click System, then click on the Device Manager tab. 3 Double-click Computer. 4 Click Interrupt request (IRQ), as shown. The Setting column lists the IRQs in use. IRQ settings range from 0 through 15. If an IRQ setting is not listed, it is available. In the above example, setting 10 is not listed and therefore is an available IRQ.
Troubleshooting What if there is no SCSI Controller icon under Device Manager, or the software driver for the SCSI Card 2930CU does not appear under Device Manager? Generally, when the SCSI Card 2930CU software driver is not listed in the Device Manager, the system BIOS is not giving the SCSI card any resources, or the SCSI card is not fully seated in the PCI slot. Ensure that the SCSI card is properly installed and fully seated in the PCI slot.
Troubleshooting How do I use the Windows Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter? 1 Click Start, then click Help. 2 Go to the Contents tab, then double-click Troubleshooting. 3 Double-click If you have a hardware conflict. 4 Follow the step-by-step instructions in Windows Help. What is a miniport driver, and how do I make sure that the miniport driver for my SCSI card is installed correctly? Miniport drivers are 32-bit protected mode device drivers used by Windows 95/98 to control SCSI cards and devices.
Troubleshooting 2 Deselect the Use Automatic Settings box and edit the resources (Interrupt Request, Direct Memory Access, etc.) so they match those used by the SCSI card. If the problem still remains, there is probably a hardware resource conflict between the SCSI card and other hardware in your computer. You can fix this by changing the hardware resource settings. (See your hardware documentation.
Troubleshooting I made changes to the SCSI card configuration and Windows NT no longer boots. The boot manager for Windows NT contains recovery logic to allow you to return to the last known good configuration. If you have changed your SCSI card configuration and Windows NT no longer boots 1 Undo any hardware changes you have made to the computer since it was last operational. 2 Restart the computer. Watch the display carefully during bootup.
Troubleshooting 3 Click the Words radio button. In the Data section of the dialog box, the entry in the second row and second column (to the right of the 0010: entry) lists the error code generated by the driver. The common error codes for the driver are described in the Table on page 5-11. Note: The entry in the third row of the last column identifies the SCSI ID of the device originating the error.
Troubleshooting Error Code Description [xxxxx022] Adapter or target device protocol error. The adapter or target device has broken the communication protocol. A faulty device could cause this message to appear. Normally this is not a serious problem. If you get this message frequently over a short period of time, it could indicate that the device or system is malfunctioning. Unplug or power down unused devices to see if the problem persists. [xxxxx023] Target device parity error.
Troubleshooting Error Code Description [xxxxx096] Adapter hardware initialization failure—possible resource conflict. The driver has attempted to initialize the adapter hardware but failed. This might suggest that the adapter resources (e.g., IRQ) conflict with another board installed in your system. [xxxxx097] Unable to allocate memory. This indicates that there may be a problem with the amount of memory installed in your system.
A In this Appendix SCSI IDs A-2 Terminating the SCSI Bus A-3 Preparing SCSI Devices for Installation A-4 Using SCSI Devices A-4 Installing Multiple SCSI Cards A-5 Understanding SCSI SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer System Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or scanner) to a common SCSI bus.
Understanding SCSI SCSI IDs SCSI IDs identify each device on the SCSI bus and determine priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time. The SCSI card is also identified by a SCSI ID. For the SCSI Card 2930CU, SCSI IDs are numbers between 0 and 7. Adaptec presets the SCSI Card 2930CU to SCSI ID 7. You should not change this setting. SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus; the remaining SCSI IDs descend in priority from 6 to 0.
Understanding SCSI To determine if your SCSI device supports the SCAM protocol, check the SCSI device’s documentation. To enable SCAM support, see Chapter B, Configuring the SCSI Card 2930CU with SCSISelect. Terminating the SCSI Bus To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, both ends must be terminated. Termination prevents the signal from bouncing off the end of the cable and interfering with itself.
Understanding SCSI Preparing SCSI Devices for Installation When preparing to install SCSI devices, make sure to ■ Check the SCSI IDs. Ensure that the SCSI Card 2930CU and each SCSI device you want to connect to it has a unique SCSI ID. See SCSI IDs on page A-2 for more information. ■ Use only high-quality SCSI-2 cables to ensure reliable data transfer. See Chapter D, Obtaining SCSI Cables for more information. ■ Terminate the ends of the SCSI bus.
Understanding SCSI Installing Multiple SCSI Cards You can install multiple SCSI cards in your computer. You are limited only by the available system resources (for example, IRQ settings, I/O port addresses, and so on). Each SCSI card you install forms a separate SCSI bus with a different set of SCSI devices. Each SCSI ID can be used once on each SCSI card. (For example, each SCSI card can have a device with SCSI ID 2 but SCSI ID 2 appears only once on each card.
B Configuring the SCSI Card 2930CU with SCSISelect In this Appendix SCSISelect Settings B-2 Starting SCSISelect B-3 Using SCSISelect Settings B-3 Using SCSI Disk Utilities B-7 Exiting SCSISelect B-8 You can use Adaptec SCSISelect to change SCSI settings without opening the computer or handling the card, and you can low-level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives.
