<p><a name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa1"></a><span class="application">DrakX</span> will first
detect any <a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-it1"></a> <acronym class="acronym">IDE</acronym> devices present in your computer. It will
also scan for one or more <a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-it2"></a><a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-it3"></a>
<a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-it4"></a><acronym class="acronym">PCI</acronym>
<acronym class="acronym">SCSI</acronym> cards on your system. If a <acronym class="acronym">SCSI</acronym> card is found, <span class="application">DrakX</span>
will automatically install the appropriate driver.
</p>
<p><a name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa2"></a>Because hardware
detection is not foolproof, <span class="application">DrakX</span> may fail in detecting
your hard drives. If so, you'll have to specify your hardware by
hand.
</p>
<p><a name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa3"></a>If you had to manually
specify your <acronym class="acronym">PCI</acronym> <acronym class="acronym">SCSI</acronym> adapter, <span class="application">DrakX</span> will ask if you
want to configure options for it. You should allow <span class="application">DrakX</span>
to probe the hardware for the card-specific options which are
needed to initialize the adapter. Most of the time, <span class="application">DrakX</span>
will get through this step without any issues.
</p>
<p><a name="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa4"></a>If <span class="application">DrakX</span>
is not able to probe for the options to automatically determine
which parameters need to be passed to the hardware, you'll need
to manually configure the driver.
