2-18 General Description
Floppy Disk Drive
Your server is provided with a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive to write/read data to/from a floppy disk.
Your server supports the following 3.5-inch floppy disks:
2HD floppy disk (double-sided high-density track type)
Stores data of 1.44MB.
2DD floppy disk (double-sided double-density track type)
Store data of 720KB.
Make sure that the server is powered (the POWER/SLEEP lamp is lit) before inserting a floppy disk into the floppy disk
drive.
When you completely insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, the drive clicks and the eject button on the
floppy disk is slightly pushed out.
NOTES:
You cannot use a 1.2MB-formatted floppy disk to boot the system.
When an unformatted floppy disk is inserted, a message prompting for formatting is
displayed. Refer to the manual that comes with the OS to format the floppy disk.
If the floppy disk contains a system, powering on or restarting the server with the floppy
disk inserted boots the system from the floppy disk.
To eject the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive, press the eject button.
NOTE:
Make sure that the floppy disk access lamp is unlit before ejecting the floppy disk.
Ejecting the disk when the access lamp is lit may destroy the disk data.
