After installing a SCSI hard drive, Primary Drive 0 and Primary Drive

1 should be set to None in

system setup

. If you have any EIDE devices

on the second EIDE channel, such as a CD or tape drive, Secondary

Drive 0 and/or Secondary Drive 1 should be set to Auto.

You may need to use programs other than those provided with the

operating system to partition and format SCSI hard drives. Refer to

the documentation that came with your SCSI software drivers for

information on installing the appropriate drivers and preparing your

SCSI hard drive for use.

SCSI Cables

Ultra 160/m and Ultra2/Wide low-voltage differential (LVD) drives
(typically hard drives) both use a 68-pin cable. One end of the cable
attaches to the SCSI controller card. The remaining connectors on the cable
attach to the various drives.

Narrow SCSI drives (tape drives, CD drives, and some hard drives) use a
50-pin cable. One end of this cable attaches to the SCSI controller card.
The remaining connectors on the cable attach to the various Narrow SCSI
devices.

NOTICE:

Dell recommends that you use only SCSI cables purchased from

Dell. Cables purchased elsewhere are not guaranteed to work with Dell
systems.
