Troubleshooting
3. Reboot the server and run the (BIOS) Setup Utility (press F10 during the boot process).
4. Select the Boot menu and the Boot Device Priority submenu. Make sure that the SCSI hard drive is not
disabled.
5. Determine what the boot order is for this server model. See
in
.
6. Verify the SCSI controller board is in the right place in the boot order.
7. Verify the SCSI boot drive (address ID = 0) is in the right place in the boot order.
Symptom:
• The SCSI devices stop working.
Action:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Mass Storage Guidelines before you continue.
2. Run the Diagnostics for Windows utility and:
a. Verify the SCSI IDs and any relevant switch settings are correct.
b. Verify the problem is the SCSI bus, by looking for specific information.
3. If an accessory board was added recently, check for a resource conflict between the new board and an
existing accessory board.
4. Also, if you have changed the options on an existing board, there may be a resource conflict:
a. Remove the new board and restart the server.
b. If this corrects the problem, the board is either defective or it is trying to use a system resource used by
the SCSI controller board.
c. Check if the board is using memory, I/O addresses, or interrupt lines that are also used by the SCSI
controller board.
5. Check for any recent changes or upgrades to the software.
For example, has anyone moved, removed, or changed the configuration files or drivers? Refer to the
software documentation for more information.
6. If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages or beep codes, check each
component associated with the failure.
Equipment failure is probably the most unlikely reason for a SCSI devices failure.
