The following procedure also assumes that the installation of the driver was performed as outlined previously. VERIFYING INSTALLATION OF THE DRIVER: ************************************* In order to verify the installation of the driver: 1. Open the Control Panel folder. 2. Invoke the System applet. 3. Click on the Device Manager tab. 4. Select the View Devices by Type option. A list of the devices connected to the system will be displayed. 5. Click on the Hard Disk Controllers record. For CASE 1, there could be up to three instances listed: Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Primary IDE controller Secondary IDE controller Go to step 6 for CASE 1. For CASE 2, there could be up to three instances listed: Intel 82371FB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Primary IDE controller Secondary IDE controller Go to step 6 for CASE 2. For CASE 3, there could be up to two instances listed: Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Go to step 7 for CASE 3. NOTE FOR ALL CASES: a. The content of the text strings is dependent on the driver's INF file (named IDEATAPI.INF in the driver's install directory). NOTES FOR CASES 1 and 2: b. Depending on the current system configuration, only one of the instances displayed for the Primary or Secondary IDE controllers may be displayed. c. The order in which the individual hard disk controller instances are listed may vary. NOTE FOR CASE 3: d. Depending on the current system configuration, only one of the instances may be displayed. 6. Verify proper controller operation (CASES 1 & 2). There should be no yellow warning symbol displayed next to the main controller instance (the instance that does not have Primary or Secondary in the text). If only one of the Primary or Secondary instances is present, there should be no yellow warning symbol next to it. If both Primary and Secondary instances are present, there should be no yellow marks next to the controller instances where devices are connected. NOTE: It is NORMAL for a yellow warning symbol to be displayed next to either the Primary or Secondary interface when there is no device connected to it. If a yellow warning symbol appears in error, the driver may not have been installed and/or may not be working properly. 7. Verify proper controller operation (CASE 3). If only one instance is present, there should be no yellow warning symbol next to it. If both instances are present, there should be no yellow marks next to the instances where devices are connected. NOTE: It is NORMAL for a yellow warning symbol to be displayed next to a controller instance when there is no device connected to it. If a yellow warning symbol appears in error, the driver may not be installed and/or working properly. COMMON PROBLEMS: **************** 1. The device is incompatible with PCI Bus Master IDE operation. This is due to the fact that the device does not work properly when accessed in a PCI Bus Master IDE fashion. Contact the device manufacturer for more information. 2. Verify the length of the cables that are being used to connect the IDE or ATAPI devices to the primary and secondary PIIX IDE interfaces. The length of these cables from END-TO-END should not exceed 18 inches (0.46 m). Furthermore, the capacitance of the cable should not exceed 35 pF. 3. A conflict between the PIIX Bus Master IDE driver and a real-mode ATAPI CD-ROM or IDE device driver may occur if the real-mode driver references have not been properly removed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS files. This conflict occurs when the PIIX Bus Master IDE driver attempts to access the legacy ISA IDE resources to control the PIIX. ALL REFERENCES TO REAL-MODE DRIVERS (IDE or ATAPI) IN THE AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS MUST BE REMOVED. **************************************************************************** * IDENTIFYING THE SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER * **************************************************************************** The following procedure uses the SEEVER.EXE utility to identify the version number and build date of the PIIX Bus Master IDE driver. This procedure assumes that the SEEVER.EXE utility and the driver file (IDEATAPI.MPD) are in the same working directory. 1. Open an MS-DOS command window. 2. Go to the directory where the driver is installed: Type cd <Windows 95 directory>\System\IOSubSys 3. Run the version identification utility (SEEVER.EXE): Type <driver installation directory>\SEEVER IDEATAPI.MPD Assumes that SEEVER.EXE is located in the driver's installation directory. **************************************************************************** * CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE * **************************************************************************** The PIIX Bus Master IDE Driver for Microsoft Windows 95 package contains the following items: 1. PIIX Bus Master IDE Driver: IDEATAPI.MPD 2. Installation File: IDEATAPI.INF 3. Readme File: README.TXT 4. Version Identification Utility: SEEVER.EXE **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** * STORAGE DEVICES SUPPORTED BY THE DRIVER * **************************************************************************** The driver supports only ATA fixed disk and ATAPI CD-ROM devices connected to the PIIX IDE interface. The driver does not support ATAPI tape drives. During initialization, the driver will auto-identify all the devices connected to the PIIX IDE interface. Depending on the capabilities of the devices connected to the system, the driver will initialize the PIIX IDE interface for bus mastering operation. Only ATA fixed disk and ATAPI CD-ROM devices identified as bus master capable will be accessed as a bus master; all other ATA fixed disk and ATAPI CD-ROM devices will be accessed in a PIO-only fashion. In general, bus mastering is possible for ATA fixed disk and ATAPI CD-ROM devices that support the following DMA timing modes: Single Word DMA Mode 2 Multi-Word DMA Mode 1 Multi-Word DMA Mode 2 These devices will be accessed by the driver in either a bus mastering or a PIO-fashion, depending on the specific transfer conditions. Devices that do not support the DMA timing modes listed above, or whose PIO timings are faster than their DMA timings, will be accessed in a PIO-fashion ONLY. For more information and a list of tested devices, see the RELEASE NOTES section of this document. **************************************************************************** * RELEASE NOTES * **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** * RELEASE NOTE OVERVIEW * **************************************************************************** The release notes describe the current, known state of the PIIX Bus Master IDE Driver for Windows 95.
