How to test a hard disk

You can test an Apple SCSI hard disk with the Drive Setup program.

Note: Drive Setup can only test drives that were formatted by the Drive
Setup program. It cannot test drives on which the Apple RAID driver is
installed, or drives that were formatted by another utility.

1

If the disk that you need to test is your startup disk, start up your server
from the

Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc.

For details, see “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in Chapter 4.

2

Open the Drive Setup icon.

The Drive Setup program resides in the Utilities folder in the Apple Extras
folder on your startup disk and on the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM
disc.

3

In the list of drives, click the disk you want to test.

4

Choose Test Disk from the Functions menu.
