There are four (4) choices available from the initial drop down box within the Operations

section of the Hammer tab. These are:

1. Erase (default)

a. Selecting ‘Erase’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to overwrite each sector on the

drive one time.

2. Security Erase

a. Selecting ‘Security Erase’ will instruct the firmware of the SCSI Drive to

initiate an erasure process which must be completed for the drive to be

useable.

3. 3 Pass

a. Selecting ‘ 3 Pass’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to overwrite each sector of the

drive three (3) times in compliance with the 3 pass specification.

4. 7 Pass

a. Selecting ‘ 7 Pass’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to overwrite each sector of the

drive seven (7) times in compliance with the 7 pass specification.

Checking the box labeled ‘Verify’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to select and read from a

statistical sampling of all sectors to verify that appropriate pattern has been written.

Checking the box labeled ‘Power Down’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to spin down all drives

after data has been eradicated; it also instructs SCSI Hammer™ to power off the power

supplied to drives connected directly to the device.

Checking the box labeled ‘Print Labels’ will instruct SCSI Hammer™ to print labels for each

drive upon which eradication was performed. This feature is only useful when working with

the optional Bluetooth Printer.

The ‘Active Job’ dropdown box allows for the selection or creation of a ‘Job’ into which the

audit data from an eradication process may be organized. More information on ‘Jobs’ is

provided later in this guide.
