Seagate SCSI HD help needed

I picked up a Seagate ST32151N  2.1GB 50pin SCSI hard drive.  Im hoping to put it in my Performa 550.  Problem is...I don't know much about SCSI.  

http://office.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/seagate/st32151nwwc.html

It does not show up as an option during OS install or under any Apple disk utility or SCSI setup.  I've tried playing around with the different jumper setting/termination settings.

Does this hard drive even work in this computer?  Any help on the what the correct jumper settings should be for a performa 550?

Thanks

Update:  I may have figured this out with the help of the patched Apple HD SC app.  It is initializing now...

Jumpers will set the scsi id (maybe you want to make the boot disk show up as id0).

Also Systems before 7.3 (if I remember correctly) will not handle 2+ Gb without partitions.
