Replacing A Non-Adaptec Scsi Card With An Adaptec Scsi Card - Adaptec AVA-1505A User Reference Manual

Replacing a Non-Adaptec SCSI Card with an
Adaptec SCSI Card
SCSI is standard, but how data is translated on to a hard disk
drive is not. Each SCSI card manufacturer uses its own transla-
tion schemes for writing data to a disk. To use a hard disk
drive previously connected to a non-Adaptec SCSI card, low-
level format the drive after connecting it to the Adaptec SCSI
card. (See Using SCSI Disk Utilities on page 16.)
Caution:
A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.
Be sure to back up your data before performing a low-level
format.
