Installation (2) FORMAT UNIT command Initialize entire recording surface of the disk with the FORMAT UNIT command. The FORMAT UNIT command initializes entire surface of the disk using the P lists, verifies data blocks after initialization, and allocates an alternate block for a defect block detected with verification. With initialization, the pattern specified with the initialization data pattern field is written into all bytes of all logical data blocks. Only the position information of defect blocks detected with verification is registered in the G list. The specifications are as follows: a. Specifying CDB Specify 0 for the "FmtData" bit and the "CmpLst" bit on CDB, 000 for the "Defect List Format" field, and data pattern written into the data block at initialization for the "initializing data pattern" field. b. Format parameter When the values in step a. are specified with CDB, the format parameter is not needed. 60 C141-E252

FORMAT UNIT command

Initialize entire recording surface of the disk with the FORMAT UNIT command.

The FORMAT

UNIT command initializes entire surface of the disk using the P lists, verifies data blocks after

initialization, and allocates an alternate block for a defect block detected with verification.

With

initialization, the pattern specified with the initialization data pattern field is written into all bytes of

all logical data blocks.

Only the position information of defect blocks detected with verification is

registered in the G list.

The specifications are as follows:

Specifying CDB

Specify 0 for the "FmtData" bit and the "CmpLst" bit on CDB, 000 for the "Defect List Format"

field, and data pattern written into the data block at initialization for the "initializing data pattern"

field.

b. Format parameter

When the values in step a. are specified with CDB, the format parameter is not needed.
