Using HD SC Setup to test a SCSI hard disk

You can test a SCSI hard disk with the HD SC Setup application on the System

Startup disk.

1. Start HD SC Setup by double-clicking its icon.

The main dialog box of the program appears.

2. Select the hard disk you want to test, using the Drive button if

necessary.

The disk's SCSI device number is displayed above the Drive button; the disk

name (called the volume name on the screen) is displayed in the message box

at the bottom of the screen.

When using Apple HD/SC Setup, it is possible to test the current startup

disk.

3. Click Test.

An alert box appears before testing begins, asking you to confirm or cancel

the test.

4. Click OK.

Testing begins; a spinning beach ball indicates that testing is under way.

5. When a message informs you that testing is complete, click Quit.

If the test reveals problems with the SCSI hard disk, try using the Disk

First Aid program to repair the damage. If that does not work, consult your

authorized Apple dealer.
