of atmospheric pressure inside and outside the drive. The filter prevents the
entry of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Mount your mass storage system
away from areas which contain large amounts of dust.
Humidity and Corrosive Vapors
Water vapor causes corrosion if it condenses on the disk. Condensation has the
greatest chance of occurring during a change from a warm humid environment
to a cool dry one. corrosive vapors and other substances such as found in food
processing plants also cause corrosion. Neither water vapor nor chemical
vapors can be removed by a filter.
ATTENTION: Operate your mass storage system in an environment
protected from corrosive vapors, and where temperature and
humidity are controlled. Always transport your mass storage system
in its protective shipping box sealed from possible corrosion caused
by humidity or corrosive vapors.
Handle the micro-floppies carefully.
The mass storage system uses a 3.5 inch square hard-cased micro-floppy for
storing information. Each micro-floppy will store 655,360 bytes.
The micro-floppies are fragile and should be handled with care. Although the
micro-floppy is protected by hard plastic, you should observe the following
measures.
You can purchase micro-floppies from:
Allen-Bradley (order cat. no. 1770-MXA; box of ten)
Maxwell
Sony
