PlexWriter 12/10/32S Operation Manual
57
Possible Cause #3
•
Hardware, memory, or IRQ conflict.
Solution #3
•
Try to change these settings in Windows 95/98 or ME: right-click on My
Computer, select Properties, and select Device Manager, then change the
settings.
•
Remove the SCSI board from its slot in your PC and place it into a different PC
slot.
•
Try to set the PCI slot you are using to a specific IRQ in your motherboard’s
BIOS, if your motherboard has this feature.
Possible Cause #4
•
SCSI board not properly seated.
Solution #4
•
Ensure the SCSI interface board is seated securely in your computer.
Possible Cause #5
•
Driver fails to recognize the SCSI interface board.
Solution #5
1. Do a hard reboot: that is, turn the power switches on the PlexWriter drive and the
computer OFF, then ON. This complete shutdown should fully reset the drive
and computer.
2. If the driver still fails to recognize the SCSI interface board, disconnect all SCSI
devices from the SCSI controller board and reboot.
3. If the driver now recognizes the SCSI interface board, check the SCSI
configuration of all devices to make sure all settings are correct.
4. If device configuration is correct, plug in one SCSI device at a time to determine
if a particular device causes the problem.
