Troubleshooting
If your adapter fails the diagnostic tests, verify again that you have
properly installed, configured, and cabled your adapter. Make sure
that your cable, terminators, and connectors are functioning
properly, or install the adapter in a different slot and run the
diagnostic program again. See Adaptec Technical Support and Services
on page ii if the solutions in this chapter do not help.
Isolating Faulty Hardware
If the problem persists, try the following:
Replace the adapter with the same type of Adaptec adapter
which is known to work. If the new adapter functions properly,
the problem is related to the original adapter.
Install the adapter in another functioning computer and run
the tests again. If the adapter works in this machine, the
problem is related to one of three areas:
The computer is faulty
There is a hardware conflict
There are problems with the cables or connectors
