In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing Esc. To restore the original SCSISelect default values, press F6. To toggle the display between color and monochrome modes, press F5 (this feature may not work on some kinds of monitors).
Using the SCSI Disk Utilities
To access the SCSI disk utilities, select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect. Once the option is selected, SCSISelect immediately scans the SCSI bus (to determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID.
When you select a specific ID and device, a small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media.
nFormat Disk – This utility 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. The Adaptec Format Disk utility is compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives.
Caution: A
nVerify Disk Media – This utility 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.
