The drive does not turn on. (When the LED on the front panel of the CRW2200
drive does not light up.)

For SCSI connection
Are the three connectors (connected to the drive, the convertor, and the power
supply) all connected correctly?

Power down your computer and remove the outer casing, then make sure that the
connectors of the drive or the SCSI convertor are connected in the correct
direction, and the 4-pin power cable connectors are attached tight.

P. 14, 19, 28)

For an E-IDE (ATAPI) connection
Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’s power supply attached correctly?

Power down your computer and remove the outer casing, then make sure that the
connectors of the 4-pin power cable are securely connected in the correct
direction. (

P. 37, 46)

The computer does not start up.

Is the SCSI card installed correctly? Please read the instructions that came with
your SCSI card for details.

The CRW2200S is not recognized. (In the case of SCSI connection)

Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’s power supply attached correctly,
and does the drive turn on? Also, is the SCSI cable connected correctly?

If the system has started up normally, you will be able to see the CRW2200S and
SCSI card listed in Control Panel | System | Device Manager tab. The drive will
be listed when you double-click on CDROM and the SCSI card will be listed
when you double-click on SCSI controllers. (

P. 30)

When you turn on your computer, you can access the machine’s hardware SCSI
BIOS settings before Windows is loaded. You can set your computer to
recognize the SCSI card and CRW2200S in the BIOS.

Note

Generally, the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) is a small program that resides on a ROM
chip on the computer’s motherboard as well as on some expansion cards. It checks the
system and its devices (such as serial ports and hard disk controllers) before loading the
operating system (OS).
