Verifying Correct Driver Installation

After installing/updating with the SYMC8XX.MPD driver, you should verify proper
operation of the driver.

1. Check that all devices on the SCSI bus are available via My Computer. Double-

click on the My Computer icon. Check that all logical SCSI hard drives and
CD-ROM drives are shown.

2. Click the Start button, move to Settings, Control Panel, and click. Double-

click on the System icon. Click the Device Manager tab. Check that no host
adapter is displayed with a yellow or red symbol under the SCSI controllers
entry. If there is, continue with the steps below to help determine the problem.

3. Either double-click on the SCSI controllers entry, or click once on the plus

sign to the left of it. One entry for each host adapter installed in the system is
displayed. Select an entry, then click the Properties button. The Device Status
message should read “This device is working properly.” If any other messages
appear, continue with the steps below to get more information on the problem.

4. Click the Driver tab. Two entries should appear, one for SYMC8XX.INF and

one for SYMC8XX.MPD. The INF file does not contain embedded version
information, so the File Details are all Not Available. Select the
SYMC8XX.MPD file. The file version of the driver is displayed.

5. Click Cancel to leave the Host Adapter Properties dialog box. Click on the

Performance tab. A list of performance attributes is displayed. Below the list,
you should see the message “Your system is configured for optimal perfor-
mance.” If any other messages appear, select each message and click the De-
tails button. This provides more information on why the system is not per-
forming optimally and methods to correct the problem. If no problems are
encountered in the above steps, the new driver is operating properly. Other-
wise, consult the section on Troubleshooting for additional information.
