SYMPTOM:
IF YOU ARE ADDING OR REMOVING ONE OR MORE DEVICES TO SCSI
ADAPTER(S), OTHER THAN THE ONE IN THE LOWEST (NUMERICALLY)
NUMBERED I/O SLOT, AND ARE EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE
SYSTEM HANGING, THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL CORRECT THE
PROBLEM.
FIX:
1. DISCONNECT ANY ONE OF THE FIXED DISK DRIVES ATTACHED
TO THE SCSI ADAPTER IN THE LOWEST (NUMERICALLY) NUMBERED
I/O SLOT EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVE AT ID 6.
2. ATTACH THE NEW DEVICE(S) TO THE SCSI ADAPTER(S) WHERE
THEY ARE TO BE CONFIGURED, OR DISCONNECT THE DEVICES YOU
WANT REMOVED FROM THE CONFIGURATION.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT ALL DEVICES ATTACHED TO EACH SCSI
ADAPTER (INCLUDING THE ADAPTER ITSELF, WHICH HAS ITS OWN ID)
HAVE A UNIQUE ID, YOU MAY WANT TO RUN "VIEW CONFIGURATION"
FROM THE "SET CONFIGURATION" MENU TO IDENTIFY THE ID
ASSIGNED TO THE ADAPTER ITSELF BEFORE ADDING THE NEW
DEVICE(S).
IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR TWO DEVICES TO HAVE THE SAME ID
PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT BOTH ATTACHED TO THE SAME ADAPTER.
3. POWER-ON THE SYSTEM AND DISREGARD THE 0210XXXX 190I ERROR
CODE THAT IS REPORTED. THE 0210XXXX IN THE ERROR CODE
IDENTIFIES THE DRIVE YOU JUST DISCONNECTED IN STEP 1. THE
190I INDICATES THAT THE DEVICE SPECIFIED (0210XXXX) IS
LISTED IN THE EXPECTED CONFIGURATION, BUT IS NOT PRESENT.
4. RUN "SET AND VIEW SCSI DEVICE CONFIGURATION" FROM THE
SET CONFIGURATION MENU.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION.
SELECT THE "KEEP" AND "DISABLE/ENABLE" OPTIONS AS
APPROPRIATE FOR THE DEVICES OTHER THAN FIXED DISK DRIVES,
AND SELECT THE "KEEP" OPTION FOR THE DRIVE THAT WAS DIS-
CONNECTED IN STEP 1. DISREGARD THE WARNING ABOUT THE
FIXED DISK DRIVES THAT WERE NOT FOUND. IF YOU ARE REMOVING
FIXED DISK DRIVES, DO NOT SELECT THE "KEEP" OPTION FOR
THESE DRIVES.
NOTE: IF MORE THAN ONE FIXED DISK DRIVE IS IDENTIFIED AS NOT
BEING INSTALLED WHEN IT IS ATTACHED, ENSURE THAT ALL FIXED
DISK DRIVES ARE POWERED-ON, HAVE A UNIQUE ID, AND THAT ALL
CABLES ARE CONNECTED PROPERLY. SELECT THE "KEEP" OPTION FOR
THESE DRIVES AND HAVE THE DRIVES SERVICED IF THE PROBLEM IS
NOT CORRECTED BY THIS PROCEDURE.
5. SAVE THIS CONFIGURATION INFORMATION (F10 KEY).
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE SCREEN TO EXIT BACK TO THE "SET
CONFIGURATION" MENU. IF YOU HAVE JUST ATTACHED DEVICES
OTHER THAN FIXED DISK DRIVES THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE PRESENT
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS POWERED-ON OR RESET, YOU MAY WANT TO SET
THE "KEEP" AND "DISABLE/ENABLE" OPTIONS FOR THESE DEVICES AT
THIS TIME. TO SELECT THESE OPTIONS, CONTINUE WITH THE NEXT
STEP, OTHERWISE CONTINUE WITH STEP 7.
6. DISCONNECT OR POWER-DOWN THE DEVICE(S) THAT WILL NOT ALWAYS
BE ATTACHED OR POWERED-ON WHEN THE SYSTEM IS POWERED-ON OR
RESET. FIXED DISK DRIVES MUST ALWAYS BE ATTACHED AND
POWERED-ON DURING A SYSTEM POWER-ON OR RESET CYCLE.
SELECT "SET AND VIEW SCSI DEVICE CONFIGURATION" FROM THE
"SET CONFIGURATION" MENU, AND SELECT THE "KEEP" AND
"DISABLE/ENABLE" OPTIONS FOR THESE DEVICES. YOU MUST ALSO
SELECT THE "KEEP" OPTION AGAIN FOR THE DRIVE THAT WAS
DISCONNECTED IN STEP 1 AND FOR ANY DEVICES AS IDENTIFIED IN
STEP 4. SAVE THIS CONFIGURATION INFORMATION (F10 KEY).
7. POWER-DOWN THE SYSTEM AND RE-CONNECT THE FIXED DISK DRIVE
DISCONNECTED IN STEP 1.
THE SYSTEM HAS NOW BEEN FULLY CONFIGURED FOR THE DEVICE(S)
ADDED.

AUTO CONFIGURATION WILL NOT REMOVE SCSI NON-FIXED DISK DEVICES
FROM THE CONFIGURATION TABLE, EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE HAS BEEN
PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED. A 162 OR 174 POST ERROR WILL BE
DISPLAYED IF AUTO CONFIGURATION IS USED TO DE-CONFIGURE A
DISCONNECTED, NON-FIXED DISK DEVICE, SUCH AS A TAPE DRIVE OR
CD-ROM.
THE ERRORS MAY BE ELIMINATED BY UNDERSTANDING THE FOLLOWING:
A. SCSI AUTO CONFIGURATION WILL CONFIGURE ANY ATTACHED SCSI
DEVICE.
B. SCSI AUTO CONFIGURATION WILL DE-CONFIGURE FIXED DISK DRIVE,
ONLY.
C. NON-FIXED DISK SCSI DEVICES MUST BE MANUALLY REMOVED FROM
THE CONFIGURATION TABLE WHEN THE DEVICE IS DISCONNECTED.
TO REMOVE A NON-FIXED DISK SCSI DEVICE FROM THE CONFIGURATION
TABLE AFTER IT IS DISCONNECTED, THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED:
A. BOOT THE REFERENCE DISKETTE OR IML THE SYSTEM PARTITION.
B. AT THE MAIN MENU SELECT OPTION #3, "SET CONFIGURATION."
C. SELECT OPTION #6, "SET AND VIEW SCSI DEVICE CONFG."
D. FIND THE APPROPRIATE SCSI DEVICE ON THE LIST AND MOVE
THE SELECTOR BAR TO THE "PRESENCE ERROR REPORTING" LINE.
E. USING THE F5/F6 KEYS, TOGGLE TO "REMOVE."
F. SAVE THE CONFIGURATION WITH THE F10 KEY.
G. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN AND RE-BOOT THE
SYSTEM.
THE DISCONNECTED SCSI DEVICE SHOULD NOW BE REMOVED FROM THE
CONFIGURATION TABLE AND NORMAL OPERATION SHOULD OCCUR.
