I got few ansers. Thank you all.
It was so simpel !!
Now it works fine.

Here is David Apfelbaum's answer:

====
Attach it to the NeXT (while the NeXT is powered down!!!), boot the
NeXT, log in, the workspace should try to auto-mount it.  If it needs to
be initialized the workspace will offer to initialize it for you -- you
say YES.  You can also select the disk and run builddisk on it.  No big
deal.  (If no disktab entry exists, one is automatically figured out
(for SCSI disks only!))

Problems arise when this system doesn't work.  (Usually bad terminators
on the SCSI cables, or a hardware incompatibility problem...)  If this
occurs, please send another post, or email me...

Good luck.

P.S>  Be sure the drive power connector is attached, and, if external,
the power switch is turned on.  BY ALL MEANS DO NOT CYCLE THE POWER ON
THIS DRIVE WHILE THE NEXT IS RUNNING!!!  (IE, TURN IT OFF OR ON.)  (This
will really only apply if it's an external drive, but......)
