TITLE :Ultrastor SCSI Host Adapters and Removable Hard Drives
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After adding a removable hard drive, such as Syquest drive, the system
does not boot to Windows NT. The following error message appears on a
blue screen:
Inaccessible boot device.
CAUSE
======
All fixed and removable hard disks are serviced through BIOS INT 13
service routine. If a removable hard disk is connected to Ultrastor
SCSI host adapter, it will be treated as a regular fixed hard disk
through on-board BIOS. The following problems may occur:
- During boot time, if a cartridge was not inserted in the removable
hard disk, on-board BIOS will time-out with a "Device not ready"
error message.
- Media change in the device cannot be recognized without using a
third-party software.
RESOLUTION
==========
To exclude services for removable hard disks from on-board BIOS INT
13, do the following:
- For Ultrastor 14F, jumper JP11 pins 9-10.
- For Ultrastor 24F/24Fa, set the host adapter SCSI ID to 6.
- For Ultrastor 14N, jumper JP21 pins 1-2.
For more information, please call Ultrastor Corporation Technical
Support at (510) 623-8955.
