Title: Formatting a Diskette
Date: 9/1/87

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

This section describes the procedure for formatting a blank
diskette for use on a Communications Server.  The procedure
applies only to a Series/100 server that has an internal disk
drive.

During normal use, only the system diskette supplied by Bridge is
needed.  You may, however, want to keep a few formatted diskettes
available in case a memory dump is necessary to help diagnose a
system failure.

To format (and erase) the diskette currently in the disk drive,
enter the FOrmat command:

.br;fo

The system prompts the user to insert the diskette to be
formatted and press the Return key.

.lt;                 ** CAUTION **

   Ensure that the appropriate diskette is in the disk drive
   before pressing the Return key.  After the Return key is
   pressed, the system immediately formats whichever diskette is
   present, erasing all information previously on the diskette.
