6. Check the SCSI cable connections inside the system:
a. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet.
b. Remove the system cover.
c. Check the SCSI cable connection to the SCSI host adapter.
The SCSI cable may be connected to the internal SCSI host adapter on the system board or a SCSI host adapter installed in an expansion slot.
NOTE: If the SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI channel A only, all six hard-disk drives are controlled. If both SCSI channels A and B are connected,
the SCSI channel A controller controls hard-disk drives 0 through 2 (SCSI ID 0-2) and the SCSI channel B controller controls hard-disk drives 3 through
5 (SCSI ID 3-5).
7. Partition and logically format the hard-disk drive. If possible, restore the files to the drive.
To partition and logically format the drive, see the documentation for the system's operating system.
