Use SCSI Disk Utilities to check the hard disk
drive firmware revision. (Select SCSI Disk
Utilities from the Configure/View Host
Adapter Settings screen. Use the arrow keys
to highlight a disk device, then press Enter to
display the firmware revision.)
Format Disk
The Format Disk utility performs a low-level format on disk devices.
Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted and do not need to be formatted again.
The Adaptec Format Disk utility is compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk
drives. Run it on hard disk drives or removable-media drives that were previously
used with a non-Adaptec SCSI controller.
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 is started.
Verify Disk Media
The Verify Disk Media utility scans the selected device's media for defects. If the
utility finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes, those
blocks will no longer be used.
You can press Esc at any time to abort the
Verify Disk Media utility.
