Disk drive type
DIAG displays the following prompt for the disk drive type:
Disk Drive type
? 2
Select drive type 2 for a 20MB drive or drive type 17 for a
40MB drive. DIAG determines the type of hard disk drive based
on the settings in CMOS RAM.
A pop-up window on the screen lists 47 possible drive types.
This allows for the possibility of additional hard disk drives in
the future. If you select the User Defined hard disk drive, you
must provide the following information:
Number of cylinders
Number of heads
Number of sectors per track
Write precom
Write precom cylinder number
Landing zone
Interleave factor
DIAG displays the following prompt for the interleave factor:
Interleave (1-16)
?
The interleave factor affects the performance of your hard disk.
The default value is 3.
When you execute the Auto Interleave test, DIAG determines
the best interleave value for your hard disk and formats the hard
disk for this interleave factor.
If you enter an interleave value in response to the Interleave
prompt, you override the value set by DIAG. Only do this if the
documentation with your hard disk recommends a different
value.
