SCSI Card 2930U2 User's Reference Using the SCSI Card 2930U2 and SCSI Peripherals This section provides useful information on using the SCSI Card 2930U2 and your SCSI peripherals. For specific information, refer to the SCSI peripheral documentation. Using SCSI Peripherals Hard Disk Drives s Every SCSI hard disk drive 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 connect a new SCSI hard disk drive to your SCSI card, you must partition and logically format the drive. For DOS and Windows (3.x, 95, and 98) use the DOS Fdisk and Format commands (see your computer, DOS, and Windows documentation). For Windows NT, see your operating system documentation. s If you are booting from a SCSI hard disk drive, make sure the Hard Disk (or Drives) setting in your computer's CMOS setup program is set to None or No Drives Installed, as is required for SCSI hard disk drives. See your computer documentation for details. s If both SCSI and non-SCSI (for example, IDE) disk drives are installed, then the non-SCSI disk drive is typically the boot drive. If your computer supports BBS (BIOS Boot Specification), both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives can coexist and you can specify which drive to boot from. Refer to your computer documentation for more information. 10
