Inserting And Removing Diskettes - North Star Advantage User Manual

Diskettes are vulnerable to damage from
fingerprints, scratches, spills and abrasives.
If ashes or particles of smoke land on a
diskette, they can interfere with the storage
and retrieval of information. Likewise, if
the diskette is exposed to a magnetic field,
its contents can be lost. Consult Figure 3-2
for information on how to handle your
diskettes.

The ADVANTAGE should always be turned on when you insert or remove a diskette. A power
transient occurs when you switch the computer on. If a diskette is in place in a disk drive, this
transient can jeopardize the information stored on the diskette.
