Caution:

A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Back up your data before performing this operation. You

cannot abort a low-level format once it starts.

Verify Disk Media

The

Verify Disk Media

utility scans the selected device’s media for

defects. If the utility finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign

them; if you select yes, those blocks will no longer be used.

Note:

You can press Esc at any time to abort the

Verify Disk

Media

utility.

Configuring Multiple Host Adapters

Follow these instructions if your computer has multiple host

adapters:

■

If you want your computer to boot from a specific SCSI drive,

install that drive’s host adapter in the slot with the lowest PCI

Device number. The Device number is determined by the slot

number on the PCI bus. Refer to your computer documenta-

tion to determine the PCI slot number and slot number order.

■

If you are booting from a drive connected to an AHA-3940U/

3940UW/3940UWD and you are using ISA/EISA-based host

adapters to support secondary devices, disable the BIOS on all

ISA/EISA-based host adapters.

■

If you are booting from a drive connected to an ISA/EISA-

based host adapter and you are using the AHA-3940U/

3940UW/3940UWD to support a secondary device, read the

documentation for the ISA/EISA-based host adapter to ensure

that the host adapter is at the lowest BIOS base address.

ISA/EISA-based host adapters that have their BIOS enabled

boot before the AHA-3940U/3940UW/3940UWD.
