Using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 and SCSI Devices
Using the Adaptec SCSI 
Card 39160 and SCSI 
Devices
This section provides useful information on using the Adaptec SCSI 
Card 39160 and your SCSI devices. For more information about a 
specific SCSI device, refer to the documentation for that device.
Using SCSI Devices
Caution: 
Do not connect SCSI devices to more than two of 
the three SCSI Channel A connectors at the same time.
Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives
If you connect a SCSI hard disk drive to the Adaptec SCSI Card 
39160 that was previously connected to a different SCSI card, 
you must low-level format the drive before you can use it. Back 
up the data on the drive before you move it! (See Using SCSI 
Disk Utilities
 on page 24
 for information on using the SCSISelect 
format utility.)
Caution: 
A low-level format destroys all data on the 
drive. Be sure to back up the data before performing a 
low-level format.
Every SCSI hard disk drive must be physically low-level for-
matted, partitioned, and logically formatted before it can be 
used to store data. Most SCSI drives are pre-formatted at the 
factory. If your SCSI hard disk drive has not been pre-format-
ted at the factory, and if your computer is running under DOS, 
Windows
®
 3.x, or Windows 95/98, you can format the disk 
with the DOS 
Fdisk
 and 
Format
 commands. (See the DOS and 
Windows documentation for more information.) To format
