Note If the server has a RAID adapter installed, refer to the RAID adapter documentation for instructions for performing a low-level format on a hard disk drive attached to the PCI RAID adapter. 1. If the hard disk is working, make a backup copy of all the files and programs on the hard disk drive 2. Select Format Disk; 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, follow the instructions in the "ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information" section of this Server Library.
