You don't need to enable it.  That should happen automatically.  Have
you checked that the terminators are all set up correctly, and that
the SCSI ID doesn't conflict with something else on the chain?  If you
have a host adapter just for this device, is the adapter showing in
dmesg?  Some SCSI host adapters need to be specified in the kernel
config, but you haven't described what you have.
