Formatting Flash Memory
The Router Files Manager Format option allows you to format and initialize flash
memory. Use the Format option to format new memory cards or SIMMs, if you
did not obtain them from Bay Networks.
The instructions that follow apply to flash memory cards and flash SIMMs.
To format a memory card:
1. In the main Site Manager window, choose Tools > Router Files Manager.
The Router Files Manager window opens (refer to Figure
5-1).
2. Select the volume that contains the memory media you want to format.
3. Choose Commands > Format.
A confirmation window appears.
4. Click on OK.
The router formats and initializes the memory.
5. Display a list of the volume’s contents when the format operation is done.
Formatting is complete if the Router Files Manager does not display any files.
Caution: You cannot recover files after you use the Format option. Copy all
files to a second memory card or SIMM before you use the Format option.
