Drive setup

SCSI interface drives
The SCSI interface handles both drive geometry and
defect management internally or the "no drive installed"
option can be selected for systems with SCSI drives.
All SCSI interface drives are low-level formatted at the
factory. If you wish to low-level format the drive to
optimize its performance for your system, consult the
controller documentation for information on low-level
formatting. Partitioning and high-level formatting can
be done through DOS by way of the FDISK utility for
partitioning, and FORMAT for high-level formatting.
Consult your DOS manual for FORMAT and FDISK
command options.
Warning. If an installed drive is low-level format-
ted, all user data stored on the drive is
lost.
Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost
user data.
