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 of the server.
Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly with the label side up and its protective shutter facing the
drive.
TIPS:
„
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 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.
