Booting from an External SCSI Disk Drive

If your system has access to an IDE or EIDE drive, it will attempt to boot from the drive. If
you install a SCSI adapter in your system, you can boot the system from an external SCSI
disk drive if you take the following steps.
To boot from an external SCSI disk drive:
1. Disconnect any IDE or EIDE disk drives from the primary and secondary IDE
controllers. The system's BIOS will not accept a mixture of SCSI and IDE/EIDE
devices if the boot device is a SCSI disk drive.
2. Disconnect the CD-ROM drive from the secondary IDE controller and reconnect it to
the primary IDE controller.
3. Configure the BIOS for a SCSI system.
NOTE If you have more than one SCSI adapter installed, the system BIOS will attempt to start the
system using a hard disk drive connected to the SCSI adapter in the lowest PCI slot. To start
the system using a specific external SCSI hard disk drive, you must ensure the drive's SCSI
adapter is installed lower in slot order than all other SCSI adapters
See Chapter 4, "Configuring the BIOS," for BIOS configuration information. See Chapter
1, "Setting Up the Hardware," for device connection information.
If the CD-ROM drive does not appear in the Windows NT operating system after booting
from a SCSI disk drive, make sure that the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) device
is enabled.
To enable the ATAPI device in Windows NT:
1. Open Devices in the Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.
2. Highlight atapi in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog displays.
3. Under Startup Type, select Boot; then select OK.
4. In the Devices dialog, select Close.
