■ Formatting HDD
● HDD Format Overview
The following 2 types of formatting methods are available with this machine:
• ALL: To initialize the entire HDD
• In the case of installing the HDD provided as a service part (a new HDD).
• In the case of cleaning the entire software and data in the HDD to reinstall the system
software.
All the user data and MEAP application in the HDD is deleted when executing Format ALL
with the machine in use; therefore, be sure to obtain agreement from the user to execute
Format ALL.
• BOOTDEV: to format the system software storage area on HDD.
• In the case of normal upgrading by cleaning the storage area of the system software
• User data will not be deleted.
To reinstall the system software, HDD formatting is not required.
After formatting, this machine cannot be started unless the system software is downloaded.
When Format ALL is executed, initialization process is reflected to the HDD so that this
machine is automatically restarted to automatically enter download mode. In the case of
formatting BOOTDEV, the machine is not automatically restarted, but the system software
can be downloaded.
After formatting is executed, be sure to download the system software by "[1]: Upgrade
(AUTO)" in main menu.
