Disk drives
Your system comes with the following disk drives:
Hard disk drive
Your system provides three hot-swappable SCSI hard disk drive trays
with SCSI connector card.
3.5-inch floppy disk drive
Your system’s 3.5-inch slim-type floppy disk drive can handle 1.44- and
2.88-MB capacity diskettes.
Floppy diskettes are compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around.
Here are some tips on how to take care of your diskettes:
• Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain
important data or program files.
• Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.
• Avoid removing a diskette from the floppy drive when the drive
activity indicator is on.
• Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do
this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position (1).
Sliding the write-protect tab to the not-write-protect position (2)
will allow you to store and modify data in your diskettes.
