NT4 Server SP6.

Strange problem I'm having here. This server had 5 hard disks in it and I
was able to consolidate all the data onto two drives. I took out the 3
unneeded disks and now the event log is filling with
Event ID 9: aix78xx
The Device, \Device\ScsiPort0, did not respond within the timeout period.
These events occur every few minutes, all day and all night, even when
there's no activity on the machine. The backup fails also. (Seagate DDS4
tape drive)

I made sure the terminations were correct, and don't really know what else
to check. All I did was take drives out. Those three disks were in the
middle of the chain.


I was wondering how to go about upgrading the controller from an adaptec
2940 to a new Ultra 160 controller (Adaptec 29160). The tape drive and one
hard disk are LVD. The boot drive is single ended. Maybe this is part of my
problem. Should I install the new card, install the driver then switch the
devices to the new adapter?


Thanks,
Scott
