MS-DOS Verification Procedure

This appendix describes the MS-DOS verification procedure for the Standalone RAID

Array 200 Software.

Verifying the Subsystem under MS-DOS

For Intel system only, you can verify the operation of your subsystem using the

Standalone RAID Array 200 Software diskette to create an MS-DOS file system on

your subsystem (for testing purposes).

Use the following steps to test your subsystem.

1. Boot your system using the Standalone RAID Array Software Vx.x for Intel

Systems diskette.

2. Create and initialize a logical RAID drive (see Chapter 5).

3. Exit the utilities.

4. Run the fdisk utility to create a DOS partition on your subsystem.

______________________ NOTE ____________________________

Consult your MS-DOS system manual for information on the fdisk utility.

The maximum size for an MS-DOS file system is 2048 blocks.

5. Use the format command to format the MS-DOS file system.

6. Copy files from a diskette to the file system.
