PC Server 320/520 - Devices in configuration seen only after cold boot

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom
The SCSI fixed disk drives attached to a BusLogic EISA BF-757 SCSI Adapter are only seen in configuration by the system after a cold boot.

Problem Isolation Guidance
The adapter is installed in an IBM Server 320 (8640) or 520 (8641) and is configured as a secondary adapter.

Fix
In the EISA Configuration Utility, set the BusLogic adapter configuration for "Adapter Initiate Synchronous Negotiation" to ENABLED.

Note
When the BusLogic adapter is configured as the primary adapter, no problems are encountered.
