card, and then press the cable connector firmly
onto the adapter card connector.
If you are installing an external SCSI device,
connect the other end of the external SCSI cable
to the external connector on the adapter card.
For additional instructions, see the documentation
that came with the adapter card.
8. Connect the SCSI device(s) to power.
If you are installing an internal SCSI device,
connect a DC power cable to the power input
connector on the SCSI device.
If you are installing an external SCSI device,
connect the socket-end of the power cable into
the AC power receptacle on the back of the
SCSI device. Connect the other end of the
power cable into a standard electrical wall
outlet.
Check all other cable connections. Fold all internal
cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan
or cooling vents.
9. Replace the computer cover. Then reconnect your
computer and peripherals to their power sources,
and turn them on.
10. If necessary, enter the System Setup program to
update the system configuration information.
If you installed a SCSI hard-disk drive, set the
DRIVE
0
and DRIVE 1 System Setup categories under DRIVES:
PRIMARY
to NONE. For instructions, see Chap-
ter 2, “Using the System Setup Program.”
Tape drives attached to a SCSI host adapter card are
not part of the system configuration information.
11. If you installed a SCSI hard-disk drive, partition
and format the drive. Then install the operating
system.
See your operating system documentation for
instructions as well as the next subsection, “Parti-
tioning and Formatting SCSI Hard-Disk Drives.
12. Test the SCSI devices.
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 diskette-based diagnos-
tics 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.
Partitioning and Formatting SCSI
Hard-Disk Drives
You may need to use different programs than those pro-
vided 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 using a FAT16 file
system) do not support drive partitions larger than 2 GB.
CAUTION: You must match the colored
strip on the internal SCSI cable with pin 1
on the adapter card connector to avoid
possible damage to your system.
