SCSI Disk Utilities

When you select the SCSI Disk Utilities menu item, you are shown a list of all the
devices connected to the SCSI bus. You are also offered two menus for hard disk
drives: Verify and Format Disk.

Verify

With Verify you can have a selected hard disk drive checked. All defects that are
detected will be entered in the existing error list for the hard disk.

Format Disk

With Format Disk a selected hard disk is formatted in low-level format. Normally
hard disks are already formatted in low-level format. You should use this menu
item only if you want to erase the hard disk completely and regenerate the error
list.
