Performing a low-level disk format
You can use the Format Disk feature of the SCSISelect Utility program to perform a
low-level format on a hard disk drive.
Depending on the hard disk drive capacity, the Low-Level Format program could
take up to two hours.
When to use the Low-Level Format program
Use the Low-Level Format program:
When you are installing software that requires a low-level format
When you get recurring messages from the diagnostic tests directing you to run
the Low-Level Format program on the hard disk drive
As a last resort before replacing a failing hard disk drive
Note: For information about backing up all of your files, see your operating-system
documentation.
Starting the Low-Level Format program
Note: If your server has a RAID adapter installed, refer to the RAID adapter
documentation for instructions for performing a low-level format on a hard
disk drive attached to the PCI RAID adapter.
1. If the hard disk is working, make a backup copy of all the files and programs on
the hard disk.
Attention: The Low-Level Format program erases all data and programs.
2. Select Format Disk; then, follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: Hard disks normally contain more tracks than their stated capacity (to
allow for defective tracks). A message appears on the screen if the
defect limit is reached. If this happens, have the system serviced.
