[NTLUG:Discuss] Adding harddrives

[m m]

All drives connected internally to the scsi card. Include working and 
no-working.

Burton suggest to enable the 2nd connection via the firmware on the 
controller during the boot. I don't see any options/informations allow me to 
do so.
It just display imformation and keep on going. no way to held on it or do 
any thing on it.

Still need help. thanks.
