I was trying to add an additional SCSI drive to a Dell 1300 server.
The motherboard has a SCSI controller on it plus it has an additional
Raid card, which has 3, drives attached to it in a Raid 5
configuration. I hooked the drive up to the onboard SCSI but the
computer then tries to boot from that drive. I also tried hooking it
up to the Raid card but it then just made it part of the Raid
configuration. The drive which I added is being assigned a SCSI ID of
15.
Any ideas on how to hook this up so I can just use the
new SCSI drive as an extra?

Did you get this figured out yet? Sounds like you need to get ahold of your
motherboard and RAID card documentation. I'd just connect it to your
motherboard's controller since it seems active and then go into the
motherboard bios and set the boot device priority to the correct drive or
device.
