SCSI Disk Utilities
When you select the
SCSI Disk Utilities
menu item, you are shown a list of all the devices
connected to the SCSI bus. You are also offered two menus for hard disk drives:
Verify
and
Format Disk
.
Verify
With
Verify
you can have a selected hard disk drive checked. All defects that are detected
will be entered in the existing error list for the hard disk.
Format Disk
With
Format Disk
a selected hard disk is formatted in low-level format. Normally hard
disks are already formatted in low-level format. You should use this menu item only if
you want to erase the hard disk completely and regenerate the error list.
Eliminating errors on the SCSI controller
Most problems with the onboard ultra-wide SCSI controller occur when SCSI devices
are prepared (e.g. termination) and connected to the SCSI bus. Check the following
points if you have problems with the ultra-wide SCSI controller or the connected SCSI
devices:
•
Are all SCSI devices supplied with power?
•
Are the SCSI and power cables connected correctly on the SCSI device?
•
Is the SCSI cable connected correctly to the system board?
•
Has each SCSI device and the onboard SCSI controller been set to a different SCSI
ID?
•
Are the SCSI devices and the onboard SCSI controller correctly terminated?
•
Is the SCSI controller activated in the system BIOS (
BIOS Setup
)?
•
Is parity checking either enabled or disabled on all SCSI devices on the SCSI bus?
