Diskettes are sensitive. A small dent or scratch or a speck
of
dust
can destroy a diskette's contents. Treat your diskettes with care,
• Never turn the system
on
or off while a diskette
is
in
a drive.
• Store diskettes
in
their envelopes, making sure there is no
pressure to their sides
• Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields (such
as
transformers, AC motors, magnets, TVs, radios, and a
system's display console).
• Don't bend diskettes
• Never touch a diskette's exposed shiny surfaces.
00
not try to
wipe or clean diskette surfaces; they scratch easily.
• Keep diskettes out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
• Keep diskettes away from cigarette ashes, dust and other
particles.
In
dusty areas, provide filtered air to the
computer
room.
• Don't write on the diskette label with a hard point
device
such
as a ball point pen or lead pencil. Use a felt-tip pen only.
