E) Format - Teldat Atlas 250 Installation Manual

e) Format

As with any logical support, the Smart Card must be formatted before it can be used. The Smart
Card is already formatted on leaving the factory. However should it be necessary the Atlas250 has
the means to do this.
In order to format a Smart Card you can use the 'FILE FORMAT SMARTCARD' command from the
configuration menu. Please bear in mind that the formatting process destroys any information that is
in the Smart Card, consequently should you format a card containing valid information it will not be
possible to recover this.
You can also format a Smart Card from the BIOS management menus which are accessible on booting
the device: within the disk menu you will find the "format" command which permits you to format the
card.
For further information on how to format your card, please contact you regular supplier or an
authorized technical service.
