If your computer is properly connected and configured to load a startup
image from the network, a request is sent and a startup image is loaded
into your computer. If the request is unsuccessful or there is no network

Using diskettes
You can use 3.5-inch diskettes in the diskette drive of your computer.
Handling and storing diskettes
Inside the protective diskette case is a flexible disk with a
magnetic-sensitive coating on which data is stored. A plastic cover protects
this disk from damage by heat, dust, magnetic fields, and fingerprints.
Use the following guidelines when handling and storing diskettes:
Ÿ
If the plastic cover that protects the disk is damaged, do not use the
diskette. A damaged diskette might damage the diskette drive.
Ÿ
A protective slide on the top of a 3.5-inch diskette covers part of the
magnetic surface. The diskette drive moves this slide to read data from
or write data to the diskette. Do not move this slide because
fingerprints and dust can cause loss of data.
Ÿ
Never touch the magnetic disk itself.
Ÿ
Keep diskettes away from magnets or devices that create a strong
magnetic field, such as electric motors and generators. Diskettes are
sensitive to magnets found in television sets, telephones, stereo
