Formatting the Interface Box This section describes how to format an SSD installed in the interface box. An SSD can be formatted as a TYPE S or FAT drive. Before you use an SSD for the first time it must be formatted using TYPE S or FAT. ERASE ALL allows you to delete all data on the SSD. TYPE S: A special disk format for high-speed writing data by P2 card. It enables saving up to 23 cards. Saved data for each copied P2 card will be recognized as a separate drive by computers and other devices. FAT: The basic primary partition becomes FAT32. Computers will recognize the device as a single drive and as cards are copied to the drive, new folders are automatically created for copying. ERASE ALL: Since formatting will only delete some of the data, use ERASE ALL to securely erase all the data on the drive.  NOTE: • Do not use battery power, but the AC adapter for ERASE ALL since it writes data to the drive to delete all data, which takes considerable time. • To use an SSD after an ERASE ALL operation, format it selecting either TYPE S or FAT. 1 Make sure that TARGET in the main screen is INTERNAL and press the F3 (INT. EXPLORE) button. • The EXPLORE screen appears.  NOTE: • The appearance of the screen that appears depends on which type of formatting was selected for the SSD. 2 Press the MENU button and use the cur- sor (up/down/left/right) buttons to select [OPERATION]  [FORMAT(INT.)] and press the SET button. 3 Select the format type (TYPE S, FAT or ERASE ALL) and press the SET button. 4 Use the cursor buttons (Up/Down) to select [YES] in the confirmation message that appears. • Formatting starts 5 Press SET when the completion mes- sage appears.  NOTE: • Check that no important data remains on a device before formatting since data erased by formatting cannot be recovered. Note that formatting formats the entire storage device. • A storage device is not guaranteed to operate on this unit if the storage device was formatted with this unit and data was later written to the storage device using a personal computer.

Formatting the Interface Box
This section describes how to format an SSD in-
stalled in the interface box.
An SSD can be formatted as a TYPE S or FAT drive.
Before you use an SSD for the first time it must be
formatted using TYPE S or FAT.
ERASE ALL allows you to delete all data on the SSD.
TYPE S:
A special disk format for high-speed writing
data by P2 card. It enables saving up to 23
cards. Saved data for each copied P2 card will
be recognized as a separate drive by comput-
ers and other devices.
FAT:
The basic primary partition becomes FAT32.
Computers will recognize the device as a
single drive and as cards are copied to the
drive, new folders are automatically created for
copying.
ERASE ALL:
Since formatting will only delete some of the
data, use ERASE ALL to securely erase all the
data on the drive.
NOTE:
•
Do not use battery power, but the AC adapter for ERASE
ALL since it writes data to the drive to delete all data,
which takes considerable time.
•
To use an SSD after an ERASE ALL operation, format it
selecting either TYPE S or FAT.
1
Make sure that TARGET in the main
screen is INTERNAL and press the F3
(INT. EXPLORE) button.

pends on which type of formatting was selected
for the SSD.

sor (up/down/left/right) buttons to select
[OPERATION]
[FORMAT(INT.)] and

select [YES] in the confirmation message
that appears.

5

sage appears.
NOTE:
•
Check that no important data remains on a device before
formatting since data erased by formatting cannot be
recovered. Note that formatting formats the entire storage
device.
•

unit if the storage device was formatted with this unit
and data was later written to the storage device using a
personal computer. (Data written using this unit or the
storage device itself may not be recognized.)
