Do not leave the DVD/CD-ROM with foods and drinks, or in a place exposed to cigarette
smoke.
„
Do not leave the DVD/CD-ROM in a high-temperature place (e.g., place exposed to direct

„
When dust or fingerprints are attached on the DVD/CD-ROM, wipe the DVD/CD-ROM
from its center to edge with a dry soft cloth slowly and gently.
„
Use the dedicated cleaner to clean the DVD/CD-ROM. Do not use record spray/cleaner,
benzene, or thinner.

Tape Media
The following describes data handling with the DAT, DLT, or AIT optionally available for the
server.
„
Saving your valuable data
When you save your valuable data or programs into the cartridge tape, you should save
them into two cartridge tapes to make the primary and secondary tapes.
This enables you to restore your data from one tape when the other makes a read error, as
well as to protect your valuable data and programs from loss.
„
Three-generation data management
NEC recommends that you should employ three-generation data management for data
storage.
Three-generation data management uses three cartridge tapes: A, B, and C. You save data
to tape A on the first day, tape B on the second day, tape C on the third day, tape A on the
forth day, and so on. That is, you save data into cartridge tapes cyclically from tape A
through C.
