Make sure the drive is running.
Listen carefully to determine
whether the drive motor is spinning. Also, the drive-activity
LED should flash when the power is turned on. If the LED
stays on after power-on, make sure the interface cable is prop-

the same SCSI ID.

Check the drive type settings in the system setup pro-

Verify your SCSI host adapter configuration.
Make sure
your host adapter is not using an I/O address or interrupt that

adapter’s guide for assistance. Host adapters have a diagnos-
tic utility that can help you determine whether such conflicts
exist.

supply.

Check for viruses.
Before you use someone else’s diskette in
your system for the first time, scan the diskette for viruses.

Isolate the drive.
If there is more than one drive in your sys-
tem, try disconnecting all drives except the new one. Then
configure and install only the new drive. This test helps deter-
mine whether a compatibility problem exists. If you are install-
ing the drive in a network, verify that the drive works with DOS.
