Ensure that the operating system software is installed on the SCSI hard disk drive. If the requested partition does not exist, partition the SCSI hard disk drive and then reload the operating software. Verify that the SCSI hard disk drive jumpers are correctly set according to the supplied SCSI hard disk drive kit installation instructions. Resolve any SCSI ID conflicts by referring to the kit instructions. Remove terminating resistors as detailed in the kit instructions.

  If your Digital Equipment Desktop IDE/SCSI hard disk drive can't read or write information, it may be due to incorrect disk drive jumper settings. Refer to the supplied kit installation instructions to resolve this. Also, check for loose or incorrectly installed cables, ensuring all cables are correctly installed. An incorrect IDE drive type can also be the cause; run the BIOS Setup utility to identify the correct drive type. The onboard IDE interface might be disabled, so run the BIOS Setup utility and set the IDE controller option to “Enabled”. Finally, the IDE/SCSI hard disk drive may not be correctly formatted or partitioned; format and partition as required using the supplied operating system.
