Troubleshooting
If you have installed your drive and it does not function properly,
perform the following basic checks:
Warning. Always turn off the computer before changing
jumpers or unplugging cables and cards. Wear a
ground strap or use other antistatic precautions while
working on your computer or handling your drive.
Verify compatibility. Verify that the host adapter and drive are
appropriately matched to each other and to your computer.
Refer to the relevant documentation for details.
Check all cards. Verify that all cards are seated in their slots
on the motherboard and secured with mounting screws.
Check all connectors and cables. Make sure all ribbon and
power cables are securely connected. Ribbon cables are eas-
ily damaged, especially at the connector. Try a new cable that
you know is good. Make sure no connector pins are bent. Ver-
ify that pin 1 on the interface cable is aligned with pin 1 on the
drive and host adapter (see Figure 2 on page 6).
Verify jumper settings. Review the instructions in this guide
and in your host adapter installation guide. Make sure all
appropriate jumpers are installed or removed as necessary.
Check your power-supply specifications. Each time you
add a new device to your computer, make sure your com-
puter’s internal power supply can support the total power
demand. If necessary, consult your dealer for a new power
supply.
