Install software drivers
Some SCSI devices require special software called device drivers to operate with your
computer. If a device driver is required, it is normally supplied with the device; if you are
unsure whether one is required, contact the manufacturer of the device. Follow the driver
installation instructions supplied by the manufacturer. If a device driver is not supplied,
you can generally assume that the device does not need one. The drives pre-installed in
your system have pre-installed drivers.
