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 con-
figuration 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 sys-
tem 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.
