Floppy Disk Drive
A USB floppy disk drive is attached to the main unit. It allows you to read and write (save) data
using floppy disks.
The USB floppy disk drive accepts the following types of floppy disks:
2HD floppy disk (1.44MB)
2DD floppy disk (720KB)
Insert/Remove Floppy Disk
Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NEC Express5800/ft series is on and
that the drive’s USB cable is connected to the USB connector at the back of the server.
Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly with the label side up and its protective shutter facing the
drive.
TIPS:
You cannot physical format floppy disks on the USB floppy disk drive. Use formatted
floppy disks.
If you power on or restart NEC Express5800/ft 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.
TIPS:
Before removing a floppy disk, make sure that the access LED is off. If you eject a
floppy disk while the LED is on, the stored data could be damaged.
