Using the MOD (Magneto-Optical Drive)
The 3.5 inch Magneto-Optical disk drive supports the following densities:
Standard
: 640MB; 540MB; 230MB; and 128MB
Overwrite
: 640MB; and 540MB
1.) Before installing an MO disk in the MOD, check the MO disk for loose hardware or damaged labels
which could jam inside the MOD. Also, ensure that the slide switch in one corner of the disk is set
so that the disk is write enabled (disk hole closed).
2.) Insert the disk into the MOD with the label facing up.
3.) There are different methods to eject a disk from the MOD. In some cases disk ejection is automatic.
Manual ejection methods are listed below in preferred order from best (1) to worst (4).
a.) When in Archive Menu, use the softkey choice –or– click Image Presets up, then click the left
softkey switch up for ARCHIVE, then toggle the switch under EJECT MOD.
b.) Press the
EJECT
switch on the MOD while system is ON.
c.) Press and hold the
EJECT
switch while the system is booting.
d.) Mechanical ejection. Insert the end of a paper clip into the hole next to the
EJECT
switch while
system power is OFF.

NOTICE
Never move the unit with a disk in the MOD because the drive actuator will not be locked and
the MOD could break.
NOTICE
Avoid mechanical ejection whenever possible. Mechanical ejection leaves the actuator
unlocked and the MOD susceptible to damage if moved. If forced to use this method, reboot the
system, then insert and eject a known good disk using one of the other manual ejection
methods.
