Hi guys,
I have finally kicked my K8WE into action today after several issues like memory and PSU choice.
BIOS: 1.01
RAM: KVR400S4R3A/512 x 2
PSU: Silverstone ST65ZF
CPU: AMD 248 x 2
It is working but …the SCSI controller doesn’t seem to find any of the connected drives.
I have tried the same drives driven by an old Adaptec 2940 Controller card placed in slot 2 (33 MHz) and they work fine.
Tyan doesn’t tell you this before you buy it but the onboard SCSI controller runs off the 100 MHZ PCI-X bus.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my problem.
The manual doesn’t incorporate any information about the SCSI controller (a bit poor for a 640 Euro mobo) so I am hoping that someone smarter than me may have some suggestions.
This is my first experience on a workstation mobo so please bear with me if I am not too familiar with some of the BIOS / mobo settings.
Thank you all
