will first detect any <a class="indexterm" name="BId-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-setupSCSI-it2"></a> <a class="indexterm" name="BId-setupSCSI-it3"></a> <a class="indexterm" name="BId-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-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-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-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.
