https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/using-both-sockets/m-p/2554570#M2310 Hello, I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right place, but here goes! <BR />I have a SCSI card i've rescued from a Prosignia 200 server. <BR />I've identified it as a 'Wide-Ultra Controller' P/N 003654-002 <BR />The board has 2 internal sockets on it, each different. <BR />I'm trying to connect a 4.3 GB scsi drive to the smaller socket, and a CD writer to the larger. <BR />If I plug both in, win2k says the controller cant start. <BR />If I plug only 1 in, it will work. <BR />I have installed the card as 'Compaq 32bit Ultra SCSI Controller /p', and it uses the 'CPQ32FS2.sys' driver. <BR />I have checked the SCSI adressing, and there are no conflicts. <BR />I dont know if it's worth noting that the card will not allow me to boot from the scsi! <BR />Thank-you for your help.

They are logically the same SCSI channel. Therefore you can only use one at a time. You will need to install another SCSI card if you needed to use 2 channels. <BR /><BR />For the not booting to this controller problem: What server are you placing it in? If it is a Compaq server, you can go into the F10 system configuration and make sure that the boot order for this controller is set to "first". <BR /><BR />Have a nice day,<BR /><BR />Mike Wed, 18 Jul 2001 23:00:01 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/using-both-sockets/m-p/2554571#M2311 Ayman Altounji 2001-07-18T23:00:01Z
