(no NT6M94AA mounted in slot A7 of the DPP processor chassis).
Note 3: This selection is not valid for DPP systems equipped with:
a. 380-Mbyte disk drives with the 56K polling feature; if an NT6M94AA PCA is mounted in slot A7 of the DPP processor
chassis, disk initialization is not permitted.
b. 760-Mbyte disk drives, all instances.
Note 4: go to step 2 only if your DPP system is equipped with 72-Mbyte or 140-Mbyte disk drives.
Note 5: If your DPP system is equipped with 380-Mbyte disk drives, but no 56K polling, return to the message procedure you
were in and continue the activities listed.
