Compaq Sp700: ---> 68 PIN SCSI DISK <---- Issue with Installation of...
Hello Group.
I have a Compaq Professional workstation SP700 which is currerntly working well with 2 Compaq SCSI hard Disks. I am in the need of installing a new quantum Atlas Hard Disk.that I bought recently. I have been playing trial and error but I am not able to make at least the BIOS recognize the Quantum Atlas hard Disk. I am not sure if this newsgroup accepts attachments, so I am going to give you a my scope of the subject and if needed, I will email you the scanned tags of the Quantum Atlas hard Disk in Jpeg format as well as an ilustration of the jumpers and how they are curently set, in a PDF format. B.T.W, I already went to Quantum website (but without luck) so I am still in base #1. These is the Jumper set in the two Compaq Hard Disks: Compaq (Fujitsu) Compaq (Refurbished disk) Wide Ultra SCSI 2 Wide Ultra SCSI 2 Boot Disk Slave Disk 10,00 RPM 7200 RPM 9.1 GB 9.1 GB JUMPERS: JUMPERS | . | ID0 | . | TP to bus | . | ID1 | . | Reserved | . | ID2 | . | Reserved | . | ID3 | . | Parity Disabled | . | Write prot | . | write protect | . | Start cmd | . | Motor Start enabled | X .

As I say, My goal is to make this new HD the Master and the other two ones slaves; say the 10 RPM as Slave 1 and the 7.2RPM as the second slave.

Hello Juan,
Not being one to split hairs (well, ok .. I AM one to do that ...) your terminology isnt correct. When dealing with SCSI drives, there is no Master/Slave relationship between them. They each need unique SCSI ID's. Based on the infomration you have provided, it appears that you have 2 disks that are trying to be SCSI ID:0 . This isnt good. the disk with the ID of 0 is typically the drive that the system boots from. Arrange your SCSI ID jumpers as follows, and you should be in good shape: Atlas: no jumpers for ID's (SCSI ID = 0 , Boot Drive) Fujitsu: jumper ID1 (SCSI ID = 1) Refurb: jumper ID 0 and 1 (SCSI ID = 2) In additon, if you are still having problems, make sure that the MTR Start jumper (very small on the PCB) is jumpered as well. Let us know how this works out for you, - LC, Chicago "JPRW" wrote in message ink.net... Hello Group.

LC,
Thanks a lot in advance, I am going to do your advice; with a hard copy of this reply in my hand to know what I am doing. Of course I;lllet you know the outcome of the jumper setting and the way the system boots Thanks :) Juan "NuTCrAcKeR" wrote in message ... Hello Juan, Not being one to split hairs (well, ok ..

Juan,
Upon reflection, your disk ID;s will not be 0, 1, 2. They will be something more like 0, 2, 3. But, it should still work out the way you want it to. - LC "JPRW" wrote in message nk.net...
