■
If your system has only SCSI disk drives, make sure your com-
puter’s CMOS
setup is set to No Drives Installed , as is required
for SCSI host adapters.
■ If necessary, back up all data on the desired boot hard disk and
perform a high-level or low-level format.
■
If your system is running under DOS, be sure that the intended
boot disk has an active DOS partition and a DOS format.
■
If your system is attempting to boot from the SCSI hard drive,
make sure the SCSI ID of the hard drive you want to boot from
is set to 0.
■ Make sure that SCSI parity is consistently enabled or disabled
on all devices on the SCSI bus.
■
Make sure that SCSI termination is properly set on the host
adapter and SCSI devices. (See Termination on the SCSI Bus on
page 2-3.)
The aspi2dos.sys ASPI manager is installed; however, the system will
not boot from the SCSI hard disk drive, and the aspi2dos logo does not
appear on the screen.
■
Make sure aspi2dos.sys is located in the root directory of the
boot drive.
■
Make sure the config.sys file contains the following entry:
device=c:\...\aspi2dos.sys /d
The system is having difficulties using a SCSI drive as drive D and a
standard hard disk as drive C .
■
Make sure hard disk 1 (D) is set to Not Installed or No Drive
Installed with your CMOS setup program.
■ Make sure the SCSI drive used as drive D is set to SCSI ID 0.
Check your drive manual for information on setting the SCSI
ID for that device.
■
Make sure SCSI parity is consistently enabled or disabled on
all devices on the SCSI bus.
■
Make sure SCSI termination is properly set on the host adapter
and SCSI devices.
■ If your system is running under DOS, make sure the disk has a
DOS partition.
