A-5Troubleshooting in WindowsWhat do I do if I am having a resources conflict?Physically move the Adaptec SCSI card to another PCI slot. It maybe necessary to swap its position with a PCI card that is already inthe system. By doing this, the order that the system finds the SCSIcards will be changed and the system can assign different resourcesto the SCSI cards.What do I do when during boot, the Adaptec SCSI Card banner comesup but the system hangs?Go into SCSISelect and choose the settings for the device that aremore appropriate for the device time.All narrow devices should have the option for Initiate Wide set toNo and the Maximum Transfer Rate should be set to the fastest thatthe device supports, usually 20 MB/sec. (check your devicedocumentation for this information). Setting the speed any fasterfor these devices will not improve performance of the device andcan make the SCSI bus unstable. This can also be caused byincorrect termination, a resource conflict, or a bad device or cable.Troubleshooting in Windows NT 4.0Windows NT by default is not set up to detect cards automaticallywhen they are added to a system. Because of this it will benecessary to add the driver manually. In order to add or remove aSCSI driver controller in Windows NT, you must be logged on asthe Administrator.What if I can’t load the driver?If the driver is failing to load, then be sure you are using the latestversion available from the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com.If you are using the latest version of the driver and are still havingdifficulties, then see General Troubleshooting on page A-3.
