Compaq Infortrend manual Scsi Drive Low-level Format

SCSI Drive Low-level Format

Choose “SCSI Drive Low-level Format” and confirm by selecting Yes.

IMPORTANT!

•Do not switch the controller’s and/or SCSI disk drive’s power off during the SCSI Drive Low-level Format. If any power failure occurs during the formatting process, the formatting must be performed again when power resumes.

•All data stored in disk drives will be destroyed during the low-level format.

•The disk drive on which a low-level disk format will be performed cannot be a spare drive (local or global) nor a member of a logical drive. The "SCSI Drive Low-level Format" option will not appear if the drive is not indicated as a "New Drive" or a "Used Drive." Also, a drive formatted with a 256MB reserved space is also excluded from selection.
