Formatting and Verifying Disk Drives

You can use the disk utilities to low-level format or verify your disk drives. (New disk drives

are low-level formatted at the factory and do not need to be low-level formatted again.)

Caution:

Before you format a disk drive, back up all data. Formatting destroys all data on

a disk drive.

To format or verify a disk drive:

1 Start the ARC utility (see page 79).

2 Select the controller you want, then press Enter.

3 Select Disk Utilities.

4 Select the disk drive you want, then press Enter.

5 Select Format Disk or Verif y D isk Medi a .

Viewing the Event Log

The BIOS-based event log records all firmware events, such as configuration changes, array

creation, and boot activity.

Some events are not stored indefinitely—the event log is cleared of any non-persistent events

each time you restart your computer; additionally, once the log is full, new events overwrite

old events.

To view the event log:

1 Start the ARC utility (see page 79).

2 Select the controller you want, then press Enter.

3 When the ARC utility menu appears, then press Ctrl+P.

4 Select Controller Log Information, then press Enter.

The current event log opens.
