90 System Information and Administration
Format HDD
The Format HDD menu allows the Administrator to permanently remove data from
the available hard drives. From the Administrator Setup menu, select Format HDD and
press Enter. The following screen is displayed:
Press Up/Down to move the cursor through the list of hard disk drives until the
desired drive is highlighted. Press Right/Left to specify the drive(s). YES indicates
the desired drive, NO does not. The default setting is NO.
If you connected multiple ESMs, then the screen has multiple pages. Select the next
page to add multiple ESMs to the formatting procedure.
After the drive is selected, press Up/Down to select Begin Format, then press
Right/Left to select YES and confirm the action. Press the Enter key to format the
drive.
NOTE: Formatting the hard disk completely removes the data. This data cannot be
recovered.
The message, “Format disk drive on next boot” is displayed. DigiMux performs a
complete shutdown, then formats the disk during the boot up process. It will take
several minutes to format a large hard disk drive.
