Exiting SCSISelect

To exit SCSISelect, press until a message prompts you to exit. (If you changed any 78xx series host adapter settings, you are prompted to save the
changes before you exit.) At the prompt, select Yes to exit, and then press any key to reboot the system. Any changes that you made in SCSISelect take effect
after the system boots. (You can select No at the prompt if you are not ready to exit SCSISelect.)

Troubleshooting for Windows NT

The boot manager for Windows NT® contains recovery logic to allow you to return to the last known good configuration. If you have changed your host
adapter configuration and Windows NT no longer boots, perform the following steps to recover it:

1.

 

Undo any hardware changes that you have made to the system since it was last operational.

2.

 

Reboot the system. Watch the display carefully during start-up. If the following message appears, press the spacebar, type l at the next screen, and

then follow the instructions on the screen to continue booting with the last known good configuration:

Press spacebar NOW to invoke the Last Known Good menu

3.

 

When your system is operational again, check all of the hardware and software configuration changes that you want to make. Look specifically for

conflicts with parts of the existing system configuration that are not being changed.

If you cannot determine the source of the error, see, "Getting Help" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on contacting Dell for
technical assistance.

Troubleshooting for NetWare

Any error that occurs while the driver is initializing prevents it from loading. If an error does occur, the driver causes the system to beep and then display the
following numbered error message:

xxx message

The xxx indicates the error code and message is a line of text describing the error. The error codes are divided into three categories:

l

000-099 — Non-host-adapter specific

l

100-299 — Host-adapter specific

l

300-999 — Reserved

Specific error codes, such as those in the following subsections, appear only if you have installed the host adapters and drivers that generate them.

Non-Host-Adapter Specific Error Codes

The following error codes alert you to error conditions caused by factors not related to the host adapter:

000 Failed ParseDriverParameters call

A call to the NetWare® ParseDriverParameters routine has failed for some unknown reason. The command line contains errors, or you pressed at the
port or slot prompt.

001 Unable to reserve hardware, possible conflict

The driver failed in its attempt to reserve the host adapter's hardware settings (that is, direct memory access [DMA] and interrupt request [IRQ] settings).
Another card in your system may be causing a conflict with the host adapter.

002 NetWare rejected card Failed AddDiskSystem call

The driver failed in its attempt to register the host adapter with NetWare. The file server may not have enough memory.

003 Invalid command line option entered > option

An invalid option was entered on the command line. The invalid option that was entered is also displayed.

004 Invalid command line, please enter correctly

The driver was unable to understand the command line options that you entered. Be sure that you have entered these options correctly.

Host-Adapter Specific Error Codes

The following error codes alert you to error conditions caused by factors related to the host adapter:

200 No host adapter found for this driver to register

No Adaptec 78xx host adapter was found in your system for the driver to register. Be sure that the host adapter is properly configured and properly seated in
the slot.

203 Invalid 'device' setting
