Using the SCSI Feature

Follow these steps to use the SCSI feature:

1.

Install a SCSI device in the system and connect it to the SCSI
interface on the system board (see Figure 1-1 for the location).

2.

Enter the BIOS utility to set the PCI slot parameters.  See
Chapter 3 for details in setting the parameters.

3.

Refer to the SCSI manual for more information on using SCSI.
