When running either of these jobs, you can select anywhere from 1 to 8 partitions.
You cannot select the partition size: the SU700 will automatically generate equal-
sized partitions.
IMPORTANT
SCSI disks formatted at the SU700 cannot be accessed by other devices.
Procedure
1.
Be sure that the SCSI device is correctly mounted (→ p.32). If the device uses remov-
able disks, be sure that you have inserted the disk that you want to format.
2.
Press DISK | UTILITY to enter this job. Then turn the dial as necessary to select DISK
FORMAT, and press [OK].
3.
Turn the dial to select SCSI QUICK FMT or SCSI FORMAT, and press [OK].
▼ The SU700 displays PARTITIONS=
x
(where
x
is a value from 1 to 8).
●
If you have not installed the optional SCSI board (ASIB1 board), nothing will happen
when you press [OK]. In this case you should press [CANCEL] as necessary to return
to the main screen.
4.
Turn the dial to select the number of partitions you wish to use (1 to 8).
The SU700 will automatically divide the disk into the specified number of partitions,
allocating equivalent size for each partition.
5.
Press [OK].
▼ The SU700 displays the ARE YOU SURE? confirmation message. If you do not
wish to continue, press [CANCEL] several times to return to the main screen.
6.
Press [OK] again to begin the format.
▼ The SU700 displays EXECUTING... to indicate that formatting is in progress, then
returns you to the main screen when formatting is completed.
●
If the SCSI disk is not correctly mounted, the SU700 will display the message SCSI
DRV NOT RDY. In this case, press [OK] or [CANCEL] to return to the main screen.
Then check the SCSI drive setup.
