2-24 General Description
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 restarting 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.
