2-38 General Description
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.
„
Do not open the 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 high-temperature place (e.g., place
exposed to direct sunlight or close to a heater).
„
Keep the floppy disk away from cigarette smoke.
„
Keep the floppy disk away from any liquid (e.g., water) and
chemicals.
„
Keep the floppy disk away from any magnetic objects (e.g.,
magnet).
„
Do not pinch the floppy disk with a paper clip or drop it.
„
Keep the floppy disk in a floppy disk case that protects it from
magnetism and dust.
„
A floppy disk has a write-protect switch that prevents the stored data
from accidental erasure. You can read data from a write-protected
floppy disk, but you cannot save data into the floppy disk or format
it. NEC recommends that you should write-protect any floppy disk
containing valuable data unless you are about to save data. To
write-protect a 3.5-inch floppy disk, use the write-protect switch
provided on its back.
„
The floppy disk is a very delicate storage media. Dust or thermal
changes, as well as operator's misconduct or sever failures, may
cause loss of data. To avoid loss of data, NEC recommends that
you should make a back-up copy of your valuable data on a regular
basis. (Make sure to make a back-up copy of every floppy disk
provided with the server.)
