Other Precautions B-3

 Write-protection

A floppy disk has a write-protect switch that prevents the stored data from accidental

erasure.

You can read data from a write-protected floppy disk, but you cannot save data into the

floppy disk or format it. NEC recommends that you should write-protect any floppy disk

containing valuable data unless you are about to save data.

To write-protect a 3.5-inch floppy disk, use the write-protect switch provided on its back.

 Disk format

To write data into a floppy disk, the floppy disk must be "formatted." "Formatting" is to

initialize the floppy disk and make it available for the system environment (operating

system).

IMPORTANT:

 Formatting a used floppy disk clears all the data contained in it, if

any.

 Formatting a floppy disk from the DOS command line is not

available with the server. Use a formatted floppy disk to work

with it on the DOS command line.

The format method depends on your operating system. Refer to the manual that comes

with your operating system for details.

 Data backup

"Data backup" is to copy data stored in a media into another media (e.g., floppy disk,

digital audio tape, or magnet-optical disk).

IMPORTANT: Make sure to make a back-up copy of every floppy

disk, if provided.

The floppy disk is a very delicate storage media. Dust or thermal changes, as well as

operator's misconduct or server failures, may cause loss of data. To avoid loss of data,

NEC recommends that you should make a back-up copy of your valuable data on a

regular basis.
