specific SCSI device, refer to the documentation for that device.

Using SCSI Devices

Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives

■

If you connect a SCSI hard disk drive to the Adaptec SCSI Card

29160 that was previously connected to a different SCSI card,

you must low-level format the drive before you can use it. Back

up the data on the drive before you move it! (See Using SCSI

Disk Utilities on page 23 for information on using the SCSISelect

format utility.)

Caution:

A low-level format destroys all data on the

drive. Be sure to back up the data before performing a

low-level format.

■

Every SCSI hard disk drive must be physically low-level for-

matted, partitioned, and logically formatted before it can be

used to store data. Most SCSI drives are pre-formatted at the

factory. If your SCSI hard disk drive has not been pre-format-

ted at the factory, and if your computer is running under DOS,

Windows

3.x, or Windows 95/98, you can format the disk

with the DOS

Fdisk

and

Format

commands. (See the DOS and

Windows documentation for more information.) To format

SCSI hard disk drives running under other operating systems,

see the operating system documentation.
