They are described in the manual; the front one controls whether or not
DMA will be used and the back three set the SCSI device priority (should
be 7).

Assuming there is nothing wrong with the disk, and that the SCSI bus has
been properly terminated, all you should need to do is use the Advanced
Disk Utility (IIGS only) or perhaps a recently updated Chinook SCSI
Utilities (ProDOS-8 based) to format the disk and install an initial
ProDOS filesystem.  Many of the "SCSI utilities" one finds uploaded to
information services work only with the older "Rev C" SCSI Card, not the
new High-Speed SCSI Card.  If you get desperate, you might borrow a Rev.
C SCSI Card and use one of the older utilities to format the disk.
