Storage Manager

Formatting Drives

SmartRAID V controllers can perform a low-level format on attached

fixed disk drives. This function is available from the SCSI Device

Information window in Storage Manager. SmartRAID V controllers format

drives in standard 512-byte format.

A low-level format is not normally required before using a disk drive.

However, if a drive has been previously formatted with a different sector

size, it must be reformatted with 512 byte sectors before it can be

recognized by the SmartRAID V controller.

IMPORTANT

Do not power-down the drive or reboot the computer until after the format

operation is complete. Doing so can cause drives to be left in an unusable

state and require them to be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

To perform a low-level format on a disk drive:

1. Click Format in the drive’s SCSI Device Information window. The

Format Options dialog appears.

2. Click Format in the Format Options dialog to start the operation.

3. You can now exit Storage Manager. The format operation will

continue even though Storage Manager is not running.

To determine if the format has finished, run Storage Manager and look at

the drive’s icon. A blue flag indicates that the format is still in progress. If

the drive icon has no flag, the format is complete.
