Chapter 3  Troubleshooting

If you install your 

AHARD RAID 66

 and it does not function properly,

follow the troubleshooting below.

1. Check power supply.

Whenever you are starting to check the malfunction devices, you should
check the power status (ON / OFF).

2. Verify IDE device.

Always make your IDE device functions is in the Master / Standard mode
before you install AHARD RAID 66.

3. Check host adapter.

Verify the adapter card is seated in its slot on the motherboard.

4. Check all connectors and cables.

Check internal IDE connector, device power connector, and ribbon cable
are connected well.  Ribbon cables are easily damaged because of un-
proper fold.  You can try a new cable known to be good.  Make sure no
connector pins are bent.  Verify pin 1 on the interface cable is aligned
with pin 1 on the drive and host adapter.

5. Verify the DIP switch setting.

Start over the section configuring your 

AHARD RAID

 (RAID DIP Switch

Setting and power connection) to check if the jumper setting is correct.
