10 Floppy Disk

Floppy disks are used to store data and programs. This section explains how to handle, insert, and remove floppy disks.

Notes on handling

To prevent faults, note the following when handling floppy disks.

Keep them dry.

Do not open the shutter to touch the disk inside.

Do not bend or compress them.

Keep them away from magnetism.

Do not drop them.

Do not place them in an extreme temperature environment.

Do not place them in a humid and dusty environment.

Do not overlay too many labels (causes clogging in the drive).

Keep the hard disk free from condensation or moisture.
