Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations 79
What if a yellow exclamation point or a red X appears in
Device Manager in front of my host adapter?
1. Open the Control Panel, double-click on System, and click the
Device Manager tab.
2. Double-click the SCSI Controllers icon, select the name of the old
host adapter, and click Remove.
3. Turn off the computer and physically remove the currently
installed host adapter.
4. Install the new host adapter according to the instructions in the
hardware documentation.
5. Turn the computer on. If the new host adapter supports Plug and
Play, Windows will install and configure it automatically. Other-
wise, run Add New Hardware to make sure the new driver is
loaded.
If I am running under Windows 95, do I need lines for the
Adaptec real mode ASPI drivers and mscdex in my
config.sys and autoexec.bat files?
Usually, you do not need to use these real mode ASPI drivers, because
the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI host adapters
and SCSI devices. However, you need to load the drivers (including
mscdex, if you have a CD-ROM drive) if any of the following is true:
- You are running in MS-DOS mode.
- You are using a scanner or another SCSI device with config.sys-
or autoexec.bat- based drivers, such as HP’s sjiix.sys.
- You have an older model SCSI1 CD-ROM drive that Windows 95
does not support.
- You are using a CD-Recorder drive. (Note, however, that some
newer models of CD-Recorder drives can use the embedded
Windows miniport drivers.)
To install the Adaptec EZ-SCSI DOS drivers, click the Start button
and select Restart the Computer in MS-DOS mode. When the DOS
prompt appears, follow the Quick Start instructions for DOS.
