Using the ARO-1130CA with Other Adaptec
Products
Read this section if you plan to install an ARO-1130CA in a
RAIDport II computer system with AIC-7895 dual motherboard
SCSI channels that already includes another Adaptec product.

You can use an ARO-1130CA in a RAIDport II-equipped com-
puter system that has been upgraded with an Adaptec
AHA
®
-3940U/3940UW host adapter.
■
You cannot use an ARO-1130CA in a RAIDport II-equipped
computer system that has been upgraded with an Adaptec
AHA-3940AU/3940AUW host adapter. This is due to a PCI ID
conflict with the motherboard dual SCSI (AIC-7895 B2) imple-
mentation. In the future, Adaptec will provide a RAIDport II
solution with dual motherboard SCSI that is compatible with
AHA-3940AU/3940AUW host adapters. See the Adaptec Web
Site at
http://www.adaptec.com/RAID for more information.
■
You can use an ARO-1130CA in a computer system that has
been upgraded with an Adaptec AHA-2940 Family host
adapter. To do this, however, you may need to make some
Windows NT configuration changes. See Appendix A, Trouble-
shooting, for more information. In the future, Adaptec will pro-
vide a RAIDport II solution with dual motherboard SCSI that
will eliminate the need for configuration changes of this sort.
Caution: We recommend that you do not attempt to change
the Windows NT configuration unless you are an experi-
enced computer user.
