3. About HDD Format
3.1. Overview
HDDs under the Adobe PostScript system must be PS-formatted (PostScript-formatted) for
use. The original HDDs installed in the PS-7000, HDDs from Upgrade Kit, and service
part HDDs are all PS-formatted before shipment to customers. There is no need for PS-
format after installing the HDD from Upgrade Kit or after replacing the HDD for service.
However, it may be necessary to perform PS-format if the HDD is not recognized for some reasons. In
those cases, before formatting, please notify customers that all the data contained in the HDD will be lost
by format.
