Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
■ Cleaning the Floppy Disk Drive
Prolonged use of the floppy disk drive accumulates dust on the device head (the part which reads/writes
data). A dirty head can impair the ability to read/write data to/from a floppy disk correctly. Clean the
head once every three months.
● Cleaning Method
1 Insert the cleaning disk into the floppy disk drive.
2 Access the floppy disk drive from the OS.
• For Windows, access it via Explorer.
• For Linux, execute the "mount" or "dd" commands of the floppy disk drive.
The process is completed when an error message such as indicating that the disk cannot be read is
displayed.
3 Remove the cleaning disk from the floppy disk drive.
■ Optional Devices
For cleaning optional devices, refer to the manual of each device.
