Adaptec 1742A Network Card User Manual


 
The Low-Level Format Options screen displays.
Selecting Format/Verify causes the AHA-1740A/1742A/1744 to
send a SCSI Format Unit command to the selected disk drive
which performs a low-level format of the disk. When the SCSI
Format Unit command is complete, the SCSI Verify command is
sent to verify the data on the media.
WARNING
Selecting Erase Boot Sector causes the host adapter card to
write data to the boot sector of the selected disk drive. This
destroys the boot record and partition table for the disk drive,
and makes any data on the disk drive unavailable.
