Using SCSI Devices

Hard Disks

■

Every SCSI hard disk must be physically low-level

formatted, partitioned, and logically formatted before it can be

used to store data. SCSI hard disks are physically low-level

formatted at the factory and do not usually need to be

formatted again.

If you connected a new SCSI hard disk to your SCSI card, you

must partition and logically format the hard disk. For DOS and

Windows (3.x, 95, 98) use the DOS

Fdisk

and

Format

commands (see your computer, DOS, and Windows

documentation). For other operating systems, see your

operating system documentation.

■

If you are starting from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard

disk (or drives) setting in your computer’s CMOS setup

program is set to

None

No Drives Installed

, as is required

for SCSI hard disks. See your computer documentation for

details.

■

If both SCSI and non-SCSI (for example, IDE) hard disks are

installed, then the non-SCSI hard disk is typically the boot

drive. If your computer supports BBS (BIOS Boot

Specification), both SCSI and non-SCSI hard disks can co-exist

and you can specify which hard disk to start from. Refer to

your computer documentation for more information.
