The Disk Options menu includes the following menu items:
Format Disk - Reformats the disk. This option permanently erases all data
•
on the disk. If you wish to retain the startup configuration, be sure to move it
off the CSS before reformatting the disk. Also make sure you have a copy of
the CSS software ADI file to reinstall on the CSS.
Check Disk - Runs a quick check disk or a complete check of the disk.
•
Check Disk Disable - Disables running a check of the disk at boot time or
•
enable it again. By default, check disk is enabled.
We do not recommend running a Flash disk with the Check Disk Disable option
selected.
The Disk Options menu is as follows:
