1.
Use only
HP-approved
discs. Use of
any
others can result in
damage
to
the
drive
mechanism, high
maintenance
costs
and
data
loss.
2. Return the disc to its storage envelope
and
replace in the
box
whenever
it is
removed
from the disc drive.
3. Replace
storage
envelopes
when
they
become
worn, cracked
or
distorted.
4. Do
not
touch
or
attempt
to clean
the
surface of
the
disc. Abrasions may
cause
the loss
of stored data.
5.
Do
not
write
on
the plastic jacket of the disc with a lead pencil
or
ballpoint pen. Use a
felt-tip
pen
and
write only
on
the label.
6.
Do
not
expose
the disc to extremes of
temperature
or humidity.
7.
Keep the discs away from magnetic fields
and
ferromagnetic materials
that
may be-
come
magnetized.
Strong
magnetic fields can destroy the
data
recorded
on
a disc.
Write Protect
The disc has
the
capability of being write protected. This feature prevents the accidental
erasure
of data
recorded
on
the disc. The write protect feature
is
enabled
when
the write
protect
notch
on
the
cover
of
the
disc
is
uncovered
(see Figure 1-7). When
the
notch is
covered, writing is allowed
on
the disc.
The write
protect
notch
may
be
covered
by
placing a tab
over
the
notch
on
the
top
side of
the disc jacket
and
then
folding the
tab
over the
edge
to
cover
the notch
on
the
bottom
side.
The installation of the
tab
is
shown
in Figure
1-7.
The
notch must
be
covered
with
an
opaque
material, as it
is
sensed
optically.
