Multiple Symbios Logic Host Adapter Considerations
If multiple Symbios Logic PCI SCSI host adapters are installed in the system, spe-
cial actions are sometimes required to install or change drivers. This is due to the
fact that some Symbios Logic host adapters are supported by the bundled driver, and
also that one Symbios driver supports all Symbios host adapters installed in the
system.

fact that some Symbios Logic host adapters are supported by the bundled driver, and
also that one Symbios driver supports all Symbios host adapters installed in the
system.
With multiple Symbios adapters, it is possible to have a situation where one adapter
is assigned to one driver, and another is assigned to a different driver. This can
cause conflicts which may cause the system to switch to real-mode drivers, affect-
ing performance and access to CD-ROM or tape drives.

There are two methods for ensuring that all Symbios Logic host adapters are con-
trolled by only one driver (when installing additional boards or updating drivers).

Method 1
Using the Device Manager, change the driver for a particular host adapter to the
desired driver, but when asked to reboot the system for the new settings to take
effect, click No. Change drivers for all Symbios Logic host adapters in the system to
the new driver, and reply No to rebooting until the final adapter is changed. If
booting from a SCSI device, check that the adapter controlling this device is the last
one changed.
desired driver, but when asked to reboot the system for the new settings to take
effect, click No. Change drivers for all Symbios Logic host adapters in the system to
the new driver, and reply No to rebooting until the final adapter is changed. If
booting from a SCSI device, check that the adapter controlling this device is the last
one changed.
Method 2
Determine which driver file is active for all adapters through the Properties tab in
Device Manager. Go to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS directory and re-
name the driver file to an extension other than MPD. Reboot the system. While
booting, the system may ask to load the bundled driver file from the Windows 95
installation disk. Click OK, then when the system says it can’t find the file, click
Skip File. Do this for all adapter messages while booting. After the system is booted,
use the Device Manager to change the driver for each adapter to the desired driver.
Do not reply Yes to reboot the system until the final adapter has been changed.
