IDE Solid State Disk
4.3 Format
For DOS Operating System：
- Before you format or partition your new 2.5" IDE SSD, you must configure your computer's BIOS so
that the computer can recognize your new 2.5" IDE SSD.
1. Turn your computer on. As your computer start up, watch the screen for a message describing
how to run the system setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually
done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1, during startup. See your computer
manual for details. Press the appropriate key to run the system setup program.
2. If your BIOS provides automatic drive detection (an "AUTO" drive type), select this option. (If you
use Normal/CHS mode to partition your DOM, you can get the maximum formatted capacity.)
This allows your computer to configure itself automatically for your new 2.5" IDE SSD.
If your BIOS does not provide automatic drive detection, select "User-defined" drive setting and
enter the CHS values from the table.

For Windows Operating System：

embedded system：
1. Click the 『Start』 『Control Panel』 『Administrative Tools』 『Computer Management』
then select 『Storage』 『Disk Manager』 to setup the file format.
2. Select "FAT or NTFS" format for user.
