Auto Interleave Routine
Warning!
The Auto Interleave Routine is a destructive operation.
Back up the hard disk(s) on which this routine will be
performed before actually performing the operation.
Run the Auto Interleave Routine to optimize hard disk
performance. This routine actually occurs in two separate steps.
First, the BIOS will calculate the optimum interleave value
through trial and error by measuring the transfer rate for four
different interleave values. During this process, a portion of the
hard disk is formatted to determine the best interleave value.
The BIOS will then format the hard disk using this interleave
factor. If a list of bad tracks is required before formatting the
hard disk, press <
ESC >
to
abort the second part of the test.
Then, press
<ENTER>
to return to the main menu. Perform
the Hard Disk Format Test. To perform the Auto Interleave
Routine:
