  <para revision="2" xml:id="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa1"><application>DrakX</application> will
  first attempt to detect any <acronym>IDE</acronym> and
  <acronym>SATA</acronym> devices present in your computer. It will also scan
  for one or more <acronym>PCI</acronym> <acronym>SCSI</acronym> cards. If a
  <acronym>SCSI</acronym> card is found, <application>DrakX</application> will
  attempt to install the correct driver.</para>

  <para revision="2" xml:id="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa2">However, because
  hardware detection is not foolproof, <application>DrakX</application> may
  fail to detect your <acronym>SCSI</acronym> hard drives. If so, you mayl
  need to specify your hardware.</para>

  <para revision="2" xml:id="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa3">If you have had to
  specify your <acronym>PCI</acronym> <acronym>SCSI</acronym> adapter(s),
  <application>DrakX</application> will ask if you want to pass configuration
  options to it. Allow <application>DrakX</application> to probe the hardware
  to determine any card-specific options needed to initialize the
  adapter.</para>

  <para revision="2" xml:id="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa4"><application>DrakX</application> will
  usually complete this step without issues.</para>

  <para revision="1" xml:id="BId-drakxid-setupSCSI-pa5">If
  <application>DrakX</application> cannot automatically determine the
  parameters to be passed to the hardware, you'll need to manually configure
  the driver.</para>

  these parameters is beyond the scope of this help screen.</para>
