Refer to the “Handle cartridge tapes” section earlier in this chapter.
File protection
A 1/4 inch cartridge tape has a block file protect tab on the labeled
side of the cartridge. When the arrow on the tab is pointing to the
word “SAFE,” the cartridge tape is protected from being written over.

Load a floppy disk
To load a floppy disk, insert the floppy disk label side up, until you
hear a click.
Unload a floppy disk
To unload a floppy disk, press the floppy eject button. The floppy disk
will pop out slightly.
Handle floppy disks
Floppy disks must be stored and handled properly to prevent
damage. If a disk is damaged, files stored on it probably will be lost.
To help keep your floppy disks in good condition:
•
Place identification labels on each disk, listing the names of the
files it contains.
•
Never attempt to clean a floppy disk.
• Never leave floppy disks on or near magnets or magnetized
objects, such as telephones or the floppy disk drive. Exposure
to magnetic fields can cause data loss.
•
Never place heavy objects on top of a floppy disk.
• Never expose floppy disks to excessive heat or sunlight.
