Confirm Hardware Setup
When you set up your hardware, follow these steps:
•
Ensure all SCSI devices are not manually set to an ID. SCSI ID’s within
the Hot Dock are dynamically configured by drive location. Ensure drives
are firmly seated in the hot-docking backplane. Drive termination is
provided by the hot-docking backplane.
•
Ensure all bus cards are seated properly in the system. For maximum
performance, use EISA or PCI cards, not ISA cards.
•
Bootable devices must be attached to either the on-board Adaptec SCSI
channel A or a Mylex DAC960PL adapter in slot 1 of PCI bus 2 (third
slot from the bottom, marked P4).
If a Mylex 960PL adapter is installed in P4, the first bootable system
drive on this controller is considered the boot device if BIOS is enabled.
This interpretation is due to the baseboard device scan order.
