SCSI Card 2930U2 User’s Reference

Using SCSI Disk Utilities

To access the SCSI disk utilities, follow these steps:

Select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that

appears after starting SCSISelect. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus

(to determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all

SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID. (See SCSI Periph-

eral Display at Bootup on page 12 for a definition of the mes-

sages displayed.)

Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and

device, then press Enter.

A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk

and Verify Disk Media.

■ Format Disk—Allows you to perform a low-level format

on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted

at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. Each hard

disk drive must be low-level formatted before you can use

your operating system’s partitioning and file preparation

utilities, such as MS-DOS Fdisk and Format.

Caution:

A low-level format destroys all data on the

drive. Be sure to back up your data before performing

this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format

once it is started.

■ Verify Disk Media—Allows you to scan the media of a

hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks on

the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select

yes, those blocks are no longer used. You can press Esc at

any time to abort the utility.
