Guys,
Het this is my 1st post here, hopefully I'll become a regular.
OK so I have a custom built P4 1.8, 1GB Ram, dual 20GB HD's Intel 845HV chipset. Blah blah. I bought a Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI card, and 2 IBM DGHS (part # 59H6921) 18.2GB SCSI drives. All are 68 pin. I set jumpers on drive 1 to be drive # 0, and to auto start, all other jumpers are left alone. Drive 2 I set to be Drive # 1, and autostart. OK so they do both autostart, make a few noises, and get up to the 7200rpm speed. I then get a prompt from the Adapter card to press CTRL+A if I would like to config them. Well of couse I do so I pressed it. Now I get a screen with 2 options:
config/ view host adapter settings
or
SCSI disk untilities
I entered the 1st one, and just left all as defaults, which were mostly autp configs.
I enetered the 2nd one, which looks for your drives. OK, so here is the problem. It does NOT recognize ANY of the drives. Honestly I have NO idea if I jumped them right. Here is a link to IBM's jumper setting page for my drives. It is a 68 pin SE drive:
http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/dghs/dghsjum.htm
I need to know what I am doing wrong here, I got these so A I won't need to back up my network to CDR anymore, and B to run Linux on one of them.
PLEASE HELP. If there is anything that I missed I will try and answer the best that I can.
Thanks,
Todd
