Physical geometry for non-DOS operating
systems
When installing the drive in systems not using MS-DOS or
PC-DOS, use the following information to configure your host
system:
Data cylinders
Spare cylinders
Read/write heads
Total sectors
Spindle speed (RPM)

CMOS setup for AT systems

For drives used in IBM PCs or compatibles:
After mounting and cabling the drive, you must configure the
computer to operate with the drive. This is done using the
computer's CMOS SETUP routine, which enables you to define
a new drive for the system BIOS. However, because the SCSI
host adapter BIOS handles all I/O procedures, do not define the
drive type in the system BIOS. Instead, set the CMOS parameter
for drive type to drive type zero, or the no hard drive installed
option.
Note. If you are installing your drive in an AT system and a hard
drive is not presently installed, the CMOS drive type is
already set to zero, or the no hard drive installed option.
