Starting the Low-Level Format Program
Attention: The low-level format program erases all data and
programs.
1. If the hard disk is working, make a backup copy of all the files
and programs on the hard disk.
2. Select Format disk from the SCSISelect Disk Utilities menu; then
follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: Hard disks normally contain more tracks than their stated
capacity (to allow for defective tracks). A message
appears on the screen if the defect limit is reached. If this
happens, have the system serviced.
3. To install an operating system after the hard disk drive is
formatted, refer to the README file in Start Here on the
ServerGuide Main CD.
Saving Configuration Settings
When you finish configuring your server, you can save the CMOS
and NVRAM configuration data to a diskette. This is useful in case
you have to clear CMOS or replace the system board, and you want
to restore the existing configuration.
Refer to the README file on the PC Server Utilities Diskette for
specific procedures on backing up and restoring CMOS and
NVRAM configuration data.
Note: You will need to have a formatted diskette for each server
configuration that you back up.
