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.
