Select menu. SCSI-Select is available by pressing Ctrl-A during system boot. The
factory default for the bundled SCSI controller is Extended Translation Enabled.
Troubleshooting Host Adapter Configuration
The boot manager for Windows NT contains recovery logic to allow you to return to
the last known good configuration. If you have changed your host adapter
configuration and Windows NT no longer boots, follow these steps to recover:
1. Undo any hardware changes you have made to the computer since it was
last operational.
2. Reboot the computer. Watch the display carefully during bootup. If the
message "Press spacebar NOW to invoke the Last Known Good menu"
appears, press the spacebar and follow the instructions on the screen to
continue booting with the last known good configuration.
NOTE Do not log in if you pass the "Press spacebar NOW to
invoke the Last Known Good screen" option, because this
will wipe out the configuration you want.
3. Once your computer is operational again, double check all of the hardware
and software configuration changes you wish to make. Look specifically for
conflicts with parts of the existing system configuration that are not being
changed. If you cannot determine the source of the error, contact the host
adapter vendor or HP Technical Support for assistance.
DAT Drive
If the DAT drive is attached to the bundled SCSI controller, be sure to remove the
DAT drive SCSI terminator; the SCSI cable is self-terminated. Refer to the DAT drive
manual for instructions on removing the terminator.
Boot Partition
If the system boots from the Disk Array controller, ensure that the first logical drive
created by the JetSet Utility is 2048 MB or less. The bundled SCSI controller has an
8 GB limit for the boot partition.
Windows NT Setup Utility
Windows NT Setup is a great tool for verifying device configuration and driver version
in the case of disk array or SCSI problems
BusTech SCSI Controller
The BusTech SCSI controller autoloads its own ASPI layer and can have only one.
Thus, it is incompatible with the bundled SCSI controller.
Windows NT Installation Tips
HP strongly recommends that you use only devices that are on the Microsoft
Windows NT Hardware compatibility List.
You must use Windows NT drivers ONLY.
