ESI-32 Operation Manual
Memory Available shows how much of each type of memory is available,
both as a percentage of available memory and in bytes. For example, if
you have used up 90.0% of the available preset memory, the display will
show that there is 10.0% preset memory remaining.
1. Activate Master/Global module.
2. Select Submodule 6.
3. Observe the display. Line two displays the percentage and amount
of preset memory available. Line three displays the percentage and
amount of sample memory available. Line four inquires if you want
to collect the memory.

Collect Memory? Y/N
• Collect Memory allows you to defragment the memory of the ESI-
32. When samples are erased or truncated, the sample memory is
left divided or fragmented until the bank is saved to disk. This may
limit your sample size even though you have plenty of memory left.
4. Press ENTER to exit the submodule. The ESI-32 will return to the
Module Identifier.
Disk Utilities include several additional numbered subsections. Here are
brief descriptions of each subsection. More extensive descriptions follow.
0. SCSI Setup: Allows you to change the ESI-32's SCSI ID number
and configure SCSI for a Macintosh on the bus.
1. Mount Drives: Instructs the ESI-32 to check the SCSI bus for the
presence of SCSI devices.
2. Rename Disk Bank: Allows you to change the name of any bank on
any of the available hard drives.
3. Erase Disk Bank: Allows you to erase any bank from any of the
available hard drives.
4. Lock Bank and Drive: Prevents a specific bank and/or drive from
being overwritten.
5. Disk Status: For a hard disk drive, this function displays the
amount of space that is available, and if the drive is locked or not.
For floppy disks this function indicates the name and number of a
bank disk, and if the disk is blank.
6. Format Disk: Initializes a floppy disk or a hard drive to store the
ESI-32 bank data.
7. Backup: Floppy disks and hard disk drives can and do fail from
time to time. This function allows you to backup the hard disk
contents on another hard disk or other SCSI media, and if necessary,
reconstruct the hard disk from the data on the backup disk.
