NOTE: If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your network administrator for information on resetting the chassis intrusion detector. If you installed a SCSI hard-disk drive, set the Drive options (0 or 1) under Drives: Primary to None. For instructions, see Chapter 2, "Using the System Setup Program." Tape drives attached to a SCSI host adapter card are not part of the system configuration information. For instructions, see the next subsection, "Partitioning and Formatting SCSI Hard-Disk Drives," and your operating system documentation. Test a SCSI hard-disk drive by running the SCSI Device(s) test group of the Dell Diagnostics. See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on running the Dell Diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur. To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test. You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SCSI hard-disk drives. Refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI software drivers for information on installing the appropriate drivers and preparing your SCSI hard-disk drive for use. NOTE: On systems with hard-disk drives larger than 2 GB, create a primary partition of 2 GB and divide the remaining capacity into partitions of 2 GB or less. For example, a system with a 2.5-GB hard-disk drive would have a primary partition of 2 GB (drive C) and a second partition of 500 MB (drive D). Hard-disk drives must be partitioned this way because MS-DOS-based operating systems (including Windows NT when you use a FAT 16 file system) do not support drive partitions larger than 2 GB.
