point.

all data from the disk), press

display to format the floppy disk.
Note You must have the USB Removable Media Drive option installed in
order to use a USB key for saving and recalling setup configurations.

the LED on the floppy drive or USB port goes out. Doing so may
destroy the data on your floppy disk or USB key, as well as the data on
the next one you insert into the switcher
