Shutting down
When you are ready to turn off your computer, follow the shutdown
procedure for your operating system. This prevents the loss of unsaved
data or damage to your software programs. See your operating system
documentation for instructions.
Using diskettes
You can use 3.5-inch diskettes in the diskette drive of your computer. The
information that follows will help you use 3.5-inch diskettes.
Handling and storing diskettes
Inside the protective diskette case is a flexible disk with a
magnetic-sensitive coating. This disk can be damaged by heat, dust, a
magnetic field, or even a fingerprint. Use the following guidelines when
handling and storing diskettes:
Ÿ
Data is stored on the magnetic surface of the diskette. This surface is
protected by a plastic cover. If the cover 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
speakers, and other such items. A magnetic field can erase the data on
your diskettes. Do not set diskettes on the monitor or use magnets to
attach notes to your computer.
Ÿ
Do not store diskettes at high temperatures, low temperatures, or in
direct sunlight. Temperatures ranging from 4° to 53°C (39° to 127°F)
are acceptable for 3.5-inch diskettes. Keep diskettes away from heat.
The plastic outer covering might warp, damaging the diskette.
