SCSI Card 2940U2W User’s Reference

Using SCSI and IDE (or EIDE) Peripherals

■

All Adaptec SCSI cards can coexist with another controller

(IDE, EIDE, RLL, etc.) installed in the computer.

■

If you have both an IDE hard disk drive and a SCSI hard disk

drive, the IDE drive is typically the boot drive. In this case, dis-

able the BIOS on the SCSI card (see Advanced Configuration

Options on page 20). If your computer supports BBS (BIOS Boot

Specification), both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives can coexist

and you can specify which drive to boot from. Refer to your

computer documentation for more information.

■

You cannot connect an IDE peripheral to a SCSI card, or a SCSI

peripheral to an IDE card (controller).

■

Disable the BIOS on the SCSI card if no SCSI hard disk drives

are installed (see Advanced Configuration Options on page 20).

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 to the Adaptec SCSI

card. (See Using SCSI Disk Utilities on page 22.)

Caution:

A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Be sure to back up your data before performing a low-level

format.
