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.
