Floppy Disk Drive (Option)

If you want to use a floppy disk drive with this server, connect N8160-81 USB FDD UNIT,
which are available optionally to a USB connector.
This server supports 3.5-inch 2HD (1.44 MB) and 2DD (720KB) floppy disks.
IMPORTANT:
When using a USB floppy disk drive, the access to the floppy
disk is delayed on rare occasions if the display graphic load is
high because a moving picture is being played. In such a case,
retry the operation with the floppy disk inside the floppy disk
drive.
The drive letter of the USB floppy disk may be displayed as B
instead of A. This does not affect the operation of the server.
User B drive for the floppy disk drive.
Insert/Remove Floppy Disk
Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NEC Express5800/ft series is on (the
POWER LED illuminates).
Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly until it snaps in place. The eject button of the drive is
then raised slightly.
CHECK:
You cannot use 1.2 MB-formatted disks.
If you insert an formatted disk, you will see a message that
the disk cannot be read or that needs formatting. To format a
floppy disk, refer to your OS manual.
If you power on or restart NEC Express5800/ft series with a
floppy disk left in the drive, the server will access the floppy disk
to start the system. Unless a system exits on the FD, the server
will be unable to start.
To remove a floppy disk from the drive, press the eject button.
IMPORTANT:
Before removing a floppy disk, ensure that the floppy disk access
LED is off. If you eject a floppy disk while the LED is lit,
the stored data could be damaged.
