CHAPTER 8 – MAINTENANCE AND DISK
OPERATIONS
FORMATTING THE INTERNAL HARD DISK
The Format Disk option for the internal drive is only available through a special "power-on"
sequence. This option will erase the entire contents of Instant Replay's internal hard disk
It is
essential to back up the contents of your hard drive using the FTP Network Port. Refer to Chapter 4
to read how to do this. During FORMAT DISK, if you wait too long to select an option, Instant
Replay will "time out", aborting the Format Disk operation.
CAUTION!
FORMAT DISK WILL PERMANENTLY ERASE THE CONTENTS OF THE HARD DISK .
IF AT ANY TIME THE FORMATTING PROCESS IS ABORTED, YOU MUST RECYCLE POWER
(TURN THE MACHINE OFF, THEN BACK ON AGAIN) TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. REPEAT
THE FORMAT PROCESS AFTER CYCLING POWER.
