Knob 1
Use this command to fast-format a specified partition on the SCSI disk.
Important
Formatting a partition causes loss of all data existing in that partition.
FYI
• You cannot use this command to format floppy disks. To format a floppy disk, use the
FD_FMT command page. ( 258).
• The A3000 uses a proprietary disk format for SCSI disks. This format is not recog-
nized by computers and other foreign devices.
Change Page
• Turn the knob to change to a different command page.
• Push the knob when you are ready to execute the format. The A3000 returns a confir-
mation screen. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed with the format, or Knob 4 (>NO) to
cancel.
ID
Use this knob to select the SCSI ID of the disk containing the partition that you want to
format. Be careful to select the correct ID; do not select the wrong disk, or an unused
ID, or the ID of the A3000 itself.
Partition
Turn the knob to select the partition that you want to format, by its partition number.
Note that the A3000 does not show partition numbers for non-existent partitions.
