Use of Floppy Disk
You may need to store important data on a floppy disk. Since the floppy disk is a very delicate
medium, you must handle it with extra care:
Push the floppy disk gently into place.
Attach the label on a proper position.
Do not use a pencil or ballpoint pen to write on the floppy disk.
Do not open the protective shutter.
Do not use the floppy disk in a dusty place.
Do not place anything on the floppy disk.
Do not leave the floppy disk in a place that is subject to direct sunlight or high temperatures
(e.g., near a heater).
Keep away from cigarette smoke.
Do not leave the floppy disk near water or chemicals.
Keep away from magnetic objects.
Do not clip disks. Be careful not to drop.
Store floppy disks in a protective case where they are kept away from magnetic waves or
dust.
To prevent data from being erased accidentally,
the floppy disk has a write-protect notch. When
the disk is write-protected, you can read data, but
you cannot write to or format the disk. It is
recommended that you write-protect floppy disks
that contain important data except when you
write data to the floppy disk. To write-protect a
3.5-inch floppy disk, slide the write-protect notch located on its
back.
The floppy disk is a very delicate storage medium. Dust or changes in temperature could
cause data to be lost. Data loss could also be caused by faulty operation and computer
trouble. To avoid such possible data loss, it is recommended that you back up important
data regularly. (Be sure to make back-up copies of the floppy disks that are included with
NEC Express5800/ft series.)
