Floppy Disk Drive
Your server is provided with the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive on its front to write/read
data to/from a floppy disk.
Your server supports the following 3.5-inch floppy disks:
■
2HD floppy disk (double-sided high-density track type)
Stores data of 1.44MB.
■
2DD floppy disk (double-sided double-density track type)
Store data of 720KB.
Make sure that the server is powered (the POWER/SLEEP lamp is lit) before inserting
a floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
When you completely insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, the drive clicks
and the eject button on the floppy disk is slightly pushed out.
Notes:
■
You cannot use a 1.2MB-formatted floppy disk to boot the
system.
■
When an unformatted floppy disk is inserted, the message
notifying that date read is not available and the message
prompting formatting are displayed. Refer to the manual
that comes with the OS to format the floppy disk.
■
If the floppy disk contains a system, powering on or restart-
ing the server with the floppy disk inserted boots the system
from the floppy disk.
To eject the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive, press the eject button.
Note: Make sure that the floppy disk access lamp is unlit
before ejecting the floppy disk. Ejecting the disk when the
access lamp is lit may destroy the disk data.
NOTE:
Use of the floppy disk
The floppy disk is an important data storage media with delicate
structure and requires care. Keep the following notes in mind to
use it:
■
Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive gently as far
as it goes.
■
Attach the label to the correct position.
■
Do not write anything directly onto the disk surface with a
pencil or ball-point pen.
