Using the Disk Utilities
The Disk Utilities enable you to format or verify the media of your Serial ATA hard
disks.
To access the disk utilities:
1. Turn on your server and press Ctrl + A when prompted to access the ACU.
2. From the ACU menu, select Disk Utilities.
3. Select the desired disk and press Enter.
You are offered the following options:
Format Disk—Simulates a low-level format of the hard drive by writing zeros to
the entire disk. Serial ATA drives are low-level formatted at the factory and do not
need to be low-level formatted again.
Formatting destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back up
your data before performing this operation.
Verify Disk Media—Scans the media of a disk drive for defects.
