EIDE hard-disk drives must be physically formatted, partitioned, and logically format-
ted before they can be used to store data. Every hard-disk drive from Dell is physically
formatted before it is sent to you.
NOTE: When using the Windows NT operating system with the FAT 16 file system,
the primary partition for each hard-disk drive can be no larger than 2 gigabytes (GB).
Extended partitions can be larger than 2 GB, but each logical drive within an extended
partition must be no larger than 2 GB.
To partition and logically format your hard-disk drive, use the program(s) offered by
your operating system.

Although SCSI devices are installed essentially the same way as other devices, their
configuration requirements are different. For details on configuring your particular
SCSI subsystem, refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI devices and/or
your host adapter card. The following subsections offer some general guidelines.
