Using SCSI Devices
or removed from SCSI devices that will be connected between
the ends of the SCSI cable. See
Terminating the SCSI Bus on
page 29 for more information.

You may need to install the manufacturer’s proprietary device
drivers if you use SCSI devices other than hard disk and
CD-ROM drives. (Refer to your device’s documentation.)
Using SCSI Devices
Hard Disk Drives
■
You cannot boot your computer from a drive connected to the
SCSI Card 2906. To boot your system, a bootable hard disk
drive must already be installed on a different SCSI card or IDE
card.
■
Every SCSI hard disk drive connected to you SCSI card must be
physically low-level formatted, partitioned, and logically
formatted before it can be used to store data. Refer to your
computer and OS documentation for instructions.
Caution:
A low-level format destroys all data on the drive. Be
sure to back up your data before performing a low-level
format.
Installing Multiple SCSI Cards
■
You can install multiple SCSI cards in your computer. You are
limited only by the available system resources (for example,
IRQ settings, I/O port addresses, and so on).
■
Each SCSI card you install forms a separate SCSI bus with a
different set of SCSI devices. Each SCSI ID can be used once on
each SCSI card. (For example, each SCSI card can have a device
with SCSI ID 2 but SCSI ID 2 appears only once on each card.)
