NovaScale R620 User Guide
Insert/Remove Floppy Disk
Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NovaScale/ft Server series is on (the POWER LED
illuminates).
Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly until it snaps in place. The eject button of the drive is then raised slightly.
CHECK:
You cannot use 1.2 MB-formatted disks.
If you insert an unformatted disk, you will see a message that the disk cannot be read or that needs
formatting. To format a floppy disk, see your OS manual.
If you power on or restart NovaScale/ft Server series with a floppy disk left in the drive, the server will access the
floppy disk to start the system. Unless a system exits on the FD, the server will be unable to start.
To remove a floppy disk from the drive, press the eject button.
CHECK:
Before removing a floppy disk, make sure that the floppy disk access LED is off. If you eject a floppy disk while
the LED is on, the stored data could be damaged.
Use of Floppy Disk
You may need to store important data on floppy disks. Since the floppy disk is a very delicate medium, you must handle
it with extra care:
Push the floppy disk gently into place.
Attach the label on a proper position.
Do not use a pencil or ballpoint pen to write on the floppy disk.
Do not open the protective shutter.
Do not use the floppy disk in a dusty place.
Do not place anything on the floppy disk.
Do not leave the floppy disk in a place that is subject to direct sunlight or high temperatures (e.g., near a
heater).
Keep away from cigarette smoke.
Do not leave the floppy disk near water or chemicals.
Keep away from magnetic objects.
Do not clip disks. Be careful not to drop.
Store floppy disks in a protective case where they are kept away from magnetic waves or dust.
To prevent data from being erased accidentally, the floppy disk has a
write-protect notch. When the disk is write-protected, you can read data, but
you cannot write the data or format the disk. It is recommendable to
write-protect floppy disks that contain important data except when you write
data to the floppy disk. To write-protect a 3.5-inch floppy disk, slide the
write-protect notch located on its back.
The floppy disk is a very delicate storage medium. Dust or changes in
temperature could cause data to be lost. Data loss could also be caused by
faulty operation and computer trouble. To avoid such possible data loss, it is
recommendable to back up important data regularly. (Be sure to make back-up copies of the floppy disks that
are included with NovaScale/ft Server series.)
