Subject: Accessing scsi based external storage

I have an over a Terabyte of external storage box that I have to access from a fedora core 1 box. Its connected to the host computer through a PCI based scsi adapter. This adapter has a scsi interface and the storage box is connected to it. This storage box has like 5 IDE drives. I don't know how to access these drives. FC1 loaded sym53c8xx module when i'm installing it on the host computer. I'm assuming this is for the scsi adapter that's in there. How do I access these drives from the host computer. How do I mount them? lspci -v shows the scsi adapter.

The scsi adapter is LSI Logic - LSI U160

And I don't know the company info of the storage adapter.

But the system architecture of the storage box from its manual says:


                                   Host
                                    |
                                    |  Ultra 160 or Fiber 2G
                                    |
                            Raid Subsystem controller board
                                    |
                                    |  ATA/133
                                    |
                             ATA/133 drives (Max 8) 


We don't have any RAID level configured and we have 5 IDE drives in there. Any ideas about how to access this storage box from FC1 linux box???

Thank you,
Sanjay.
