Appendix A: Master Controller Features

To insert the diskette, hold it by the edge and insert it (label side up) into the disk drive until it clicks and locks into place. The release button pops out to indicate the diskette is inserted properly. The diskettes are protected by a hard plastic case. The spring-plate cover of the head aperture closes automatically when you remove the diskette from the disk drive.

CAUTION:

DO NOT remove a diskette from the drive when the access indicator light is on. Removing the diskette while the access indicator is on can damage the data on the diskette.

To remove the diskette from the disk drive, press the release button after the access light goes out. The diskette pops out.

Tape Drive Requirements

and Capacities

The tape drive is used to save UNIX files, application program files, administrative files, and voice system files during backup. Removable tape cartridges are used for data storage. Each tape cartridge has the storage capacity of 125MB. If a voice application is installed, you will need two to four tape cartridges for complete system backup; otherwise one tape cartridge is sufficient.

Tape Cartridge

Follow the recommendations shown below to ensure that your tape cartridges will perform well for as long as possible.

Store tapes in their protective cases.

Clean the read-write head as recommended for your tape drive.

Don't touch the tape itself.

Don’t store the tape cartridge in dusty environments.

Don’t remove the tape cartridge while the drive is moving.

Don’t leave the tape cartridge in the drive when you turn the system off.

Don’t expose the tape cartridge to magnetic or electrical fields or extreme temperatures.

You can write-protect the tape cartridge to reduce the possibility of accidentally writing over or erasing important data. Using a small, non-magnetic, flat blade screwdriver, turn the write-protection screw until the arrow on the screw points to the word “SAFE” on the cartridge.
