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
. Refer to
your computer documentation for more information on bus
mastering.
■
PCI slot in which the SCSI Card 2930CU is installed is set to
Enabled
.
■
If your computer has a combination of ISA (or EISA) and
PCI boards, you may need to mark the IRQs used by ISA/
EISA boards as
Used
so the computer BIOS will not try to
assign these IRQs to other PCI boards.
■
In some computers the BIOS reserves a set of available IRQs
for PCI boards, and you have to assign these IRQs manually.
Some configuration options apply to a specific PCI bus slot,
so if you change any option be sure you are applying the
change to the correct slot. Check your computer
documentation to determine the correct PCI bus slot.
If you still experience problems, try installing the SCSI Card
2930CU in another PCI slot, starting with the first PCI slot.
If, after working through this checklist, you are still unable to
resolve a problem, check the questions and answers in the next
