This section describes how to install and configure the Dell small computer system
interface (SCSI) device drivers included with your Dell PowerEdge 1400 computer
system. These device drivers are designed to work with the Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra3
SCSI controller on the system board.
NOTE: Use these procedures only if you did not use Server Setup from the Dell
OpenManage Server Assistant CD to install your operating system.
If you are using an optional Dell RAID controller, see your controller documentation for
information on installing your SCSI device drivers.
For instructions on installing SCSI hardware devices such as hard-disk drives, tape
drives, or CD-ROM drives, see, “Installing Drives” in your Installation and Trouble-
shooting Guide. After the SCSI devices are installed, install and configure any SCSI
device drivers to enable them to communicate with your operating system.
SCSI device drivers are provided for the following operating systems:


Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0


Novell NetWare 5.1


Red Hat Linux version 6.2 release SBE2 (and later versions)


Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
See Chapter 2, “Using the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD,” for instructions
on installing your operating system. For instructions on configuring the SCSI device
drivers, see the following sections.

 
  
If the Windows NT Server 4.0, BackOffice Small Business Server (SBS), NetWare 5.1,
Windows 2000 Server, or Red Hat Linux 6.2 release SBE2 (or later versions) operating
system was installed by Dell, all of the SCSI drivers required by your system are prein-
stalled. You do not need to use the procedures in this chapter unless you need to
reinstall the drivers at a later date.
