The HP 7906 Disc Drive
The HP 7906 Disc Drive is a high-performance, random-access,
mass-storage device. It has a fixed disc and provisions for
accepting a removable disc cartridge.
Removable Disc Cartridges
Each HP 12940A Formatted Disc Cartridge is individually tested
and certified to meet Hewlett-Packard's requirements for
error-rate performance, mechanical balance, and surface flatness.
Because of the unique interdependence of the disc drive and the
disc cartridge, Hewlett-Packard's published specifications, disc
drive performance, and reliability can only be assured when using
the HP 12940A Disc Cartridge. For the above reasons, if the HP
7906 Disc Drive is operated using a disc cartridge other than the
HP 12940A Disc Cartridge and damage occurs as a result,
Hewlett-Packard will ~ be responsible for the repair or the
resulting damage under warranty or under the service contract.
Storing Disc Cartridges
Special considerations must be taken for storage of disc
cartridges. It is highly desirable for you to store disc
cartridges in environmental surroundings that are nearly
identical with those of the operating area. Storing disc
cartridges in the same area where the disc drive is located
avoids waiting for disc drive and disc cartridge
temperature equalization.
Disc cartridges should always be stored in a clean, dust-free
area and should not be stacked more than two high when lying
flat. It is advisable to provide storage cabinets with shelves
adjusted to the appropriate height. Disc cartridges should not
come in contact with any magnetic material and should not be
stored directly on top of the disc drive.
