item will produce an error message (missing battery) if accessed with the HP
NetRAID-1 adapter. Disregard the message for NetRAID-1 adapters.
Format
Choose the Format option to low-level format one or more physical drives.
Since most SCSI disk drives, including all HP drives, are low-level formatted at the factory, this step
is usually not necessary. You typically must format a disk only if:
•
The disk drive was not low-level formatted at the factory.
•
There is an excessive number of media errors detected on the disk drive.
You do not need to use the Format option if you simply want to erase existing information on your
SCSI disks, such as a DOS partition. That information is erased when you initialize the logical
drive(s).
You cannot format a drive that is online.
Rebuild
Choose the Rebuild option to rebuild one or more failed disk drives.
