Use this knob to select the disk that you want to format, by its SCSI ID. Be careful to
select the correct ID; do not select the wrong disk, or an unused ID, or the ID of the
A3000 itself.
NumOfPart
Knob 3
• Use this knob to set the number of partitions that you want to create on the disk. If
you set the value to 1, the A3000 sets the entire disk up as a single partition.
• Remember that the A3000 cannot use partitions larger than 512KB. Consider the
total size of your disk, and set enough partitions so that partition size does exceed
512KB.
Knobs 4, 5
The bottom line of the screen shows the name of the disk or of the first partition (if you
have created multiple partitions). If you wish to change the name, push Knob 4 or Knob
5 to proceed to the name editing screen. For information about how to edit name strings,
see "Entering Names" ( 88).
If you have created multiple partitions, the first partition takes the name shown here,
while subsequent partitions take the same name followed by a sequential number (lo-
cated at the far right side of the name field). If you have created a 3-partition disk under
the name "HardDisk", for example, then the first partition is named "HardDisk", the
second is named "HardDisk
= 0,...,7
= 1,...,8
1", and the third is named "HardDisk
