Formatting a SCSI hard disk
Caution
The following procedure erases all data from all SCSI hard 
disks connected to the printer.  Disconnect from the printer any 
hard disk you do not want reformatted, for example, a disk 
containing fonts.  
This procedure formats all SCSI hard disks connected to the printer so the 
disks are usable with the PostScript Level 2 Phaser 340 printer.  The 
formatting process erases all information already on the disk; be sure you want 
the disk formatted before you use this procedure.  If you have a disk 
containing information you want to keep, such as fonts, turn off all devices, 
then disconnect the disk from the printer before using this file to format 
other disks.                
Use this procedure to format a SCSI hard disk, then follow the instructions in  
“Initializing a formatted SCSI hard disk” on page B-5.  
Note
Some hard disks are formatted at the factory and do not require 
this formatting procedure; check the documentation that came 
with your hard disk to see if the disk needs formatting.
Use the following files for your computer type:     
Caution
Once you start the formatting procedure, there is no way to 
cancel the formatting process.
