Keep the diskette away from mag-
netic fields.
Always return the diskette
to
its
storage
envelope after it
is
removed from the diskette
drive.
Contaminated
diskettes (pencil
marks, finger prints, cleaning
fluid) can cause data errors,
equipment errors, or head damage.
Diskettes that are creased or bent
can cause read/write head damage
and
should not be used.
Damaged diskettes should not be
inserted into the drive.
The diskette must be inserted properly
for correct operation. Follow this
procedure (Figure 7-5):
1. Turn the handle to the open (ver-
tical) position.
2. Remove the diskette from its ship-
ping/storage envelope.
3. Place the diskette squarely into
the diskette drive with the label
up, facing the handle, read/write
head opening first.
4. Turn the handle to the closed
(horizontal) position.
Note: The type 1 drive handle is
labeled 1, and the type 2D drive han-
dle is labeled 1/2D.
