Use this command to fast-format a specified partition on the SCSI disk.
Important
Formatting a partition causes loss of all data existing in that partition.
FYI
• You cannot use this command to format floppy disks. To format a floppy disk, use the
FD_FMT command page. (☞258).
• The A3000 uses a proprietary disk format for SCSI disks. This format is not recog-
nized by computers and other foreign devices.
Knob 1 Change Page >PART_FMT
• Turn the knob to change to a different command page.
• Push the knob when you are ready to execute the format. The A3000 returns a confir-
mation screen. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed with the format, or Knob 4 (>NO) to
cancel.
Knob 2 ID = 0,...,7
Use this knob to select the SCSI ID of the disk containing the partition that you want to
format. Be careful to select the correct ID; do not select the wrong disk, or an unused
ID, or the ID of the A3000 itself.
Knob 3 Partition = 1,...,8
Turn the knob to select the partition that you want to format, by its partition number.
Note that the A3000 does not show partition numbers for non-existent partitions.
