NonDOS operating systems
If you are installing the drive in a system that is using an operating
system other than DOS, you may need a device driver or instal-
lation software. The device driver is provided by your SCSI
adapter manufacturer and is operating-system specific. It is pro-
vided on a diskette that comes with the adapter. Refer to the SCSI
adapter’s documentation for instructions on how to install the
device driver. If you do not have a device driver for the operating
system you want to install, contact the SCSI adapter manufac-
turer.
Installation software may be required to install the drive in some
systems. There are many reputable third-party installation soft-
ware packages available. Consult your dealer to determine the
best package for your needs.
Some operating systems require that you low-level format the
drive. A low-level format routine is usually supplied on the SCSI
adapter. Refer to your SCSI adapter’s documentation for instruc-
tions on using the low-level format routine.
Network installation
If you are installing the drive in a network environment, you may
need to configure your SCSI host adapter for network operation.
Refer to your SCSI adapter’s user guide for assistance preparing
the SCSI adapter and installing the drive.
If you have trouble installing the drive with the network software,
try installing it with DOS to ensure that the drive is working
correctly.
