Chapter 2 Configuration with SCSISelect Using SCSI Disk Utilities To access the SCSI disk utilities, follow these steps: 1. Select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus (to determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID. 2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and device, then press Enter. 3. A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media. o Format Disk-Allows you to perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. CAUTION A low-level format destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back up your data before performing this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format once it has started. o Verify Disk Media-Allows you to scan the media of a hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks on the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes, those blocks are no longer used. Pressing Esc at any time aborts the utility. 18
