See Chapter 3, "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers," in the User's Guide for
information and instructions.
12. Test the SCSI devices.
Test a SCSI hard-disk drive by running the SCSI Devices test group in the Dell
Diagnostics. See Chapter 5, "Running the Dell Diagnostics," for information.
To test a SCSI tape drive, also refer to the documentation for the tape drive soft-
ware to perform a tape drive backup and verification test.
If you plan to boot the system from a hard-disk drive, the drive must be attached to
the primary (or boot) controller or SCSI host adapter card. The device that the system
boots from is determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program.
The System Setup program provides three options that the system uses to scan for
installed boot devices. Refer to the User's Guide for information about which option to
choose to enable the proper boot sequence for the adapter.
