Using the 3.5-Inch Diskette Drive
The following section provides information on 3.5-inch diskette drive.
Diskette Compatibility
The server has a 1.44MB diskette drive installed.
The 1.44MB diskette drive can format, read, and write diskettes compatible with the
following diskette drives:
1.0MB diskettes with 720KB formatted data capacity
2.0MB diskettes with 1.44MB formatted data capacity (HD).
Format the diskette according to its specified capacity.
Write-Protecting 3.5-Inch Diskettes
Write-protecting diskettes is necessary so that important information is not
accidentally lost. When diskettes are write-protected, you can read information from
the diskettes, but you cannot write information on them.
There is a write-protect tab on the 3.5-inch diskette.
To locate the write-protect tab, turn the diskette over with the label facing down.
To prevent writing onto a diskette, slide the write-protect tab to open the protect
slot.
