Perhaps before the one for entering the BIOS? I had that on one of mine, after that it was a case of navigating through their next set of screens to twiddle settings for different drives on the bus. If your SCSI is built into the motherboard, you might want to try finding a general manual for your motherboard. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
