I recieved an Asus A8V FX-53 system yesterday. Fantastic, until I installed my Adaptec 39320-R adapter;
it's just not recognized; no CTRL A, no nothing, and the adapter seems to be getting way to warm.
MB has 1GB compatible memory (Kingston), FX-53 2400, Nvidia 128 AGP.... the SCSI setup I have was working fine in a P4P800 board a couple of days ago.
Just to see what would happen, I tried a 39320-D adapter, with the same results; not recognized, getting way to warm !!
The adapters are in a slot with no shared interrupts, and everything looks good. I can find nothing in the BIOS [rev 1007] that will gives me a clue as to where I might be having problems.
I did install a 2940UW adapter, and it came up just fine, with the CTRL A, and I was able to access that BIOS.
I'm at a total loss here; I'm completely new to 64-bit, and I don't have a clue as to what's going on here.
I've checked voltage levels and they all look within proper ranges. I don't know where to go from here.
I did submit a support question to Adaptec, but that'll be several days from now receiving a response.
If anyone has a clue, I'd really appreciate any comments or help.
TIA>
