With Media Installed provides removable media support wherever the drive(s) actually resides.

One of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing Enter.

CHS Mapping – This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS) values that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partition information. SCSI Plug and Play Mapping is the default value.

To support interchange with noncompatible systems, there is another option that can be selected by choosing CHS Mapping and then cursoring to Alternate CHS Mapping.

Note: Neither of these options will have any effect after the disk has been partitioned with the FDISK command.

To remove partitioning, two options are available:

•Reformat the disk using the Format Device option. See Section 3.2.2.2, “Device Selections Menu.”

•Use the FDISK /MBR command at the C:\ prompt, where MBR represents master boot record.

Important: Reformatting the disk or using FDISK /MBR erases all partitioning and data that exists. Be careful that you target the correct disk when using either the Format utility or the FDISK /MBR command.

Note: After clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to reboot and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be reused, thus nullifying the previous operation.

Spinup Delay (seconds) – This option allows the user to stagger spinups for a longer period of time to balance the total current load. The default value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10 seconds.

This is a power management device designed to accommodate disk devices that may have heavy current load during power-up. If multiple drives are being powered up simultaneously and drawing heavy current loads, then this option staggers the spinups to limit start-up current.
