Insert/Remove Floppy Disk

Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NEC Express5800/ft series is on and that the drive’s USB cable is connected to the USB connector at the back of the server.

Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly with the label side up and its protective shutter facing the drive.

TIPS:

If you insert an unformatted disk, you will see a message that the disk cannot be read or that needs formatting. To format a floppy disk, see your OS manual.

If you power on or restart NEC Express5800/ft series with a floppy disk left in the drive, the server will access the floppy disk to start the system. Unless a system exits on the FD, the server will be unable to start.

To remove a floppy disk from the drive, press the eject button.

TIPS: Before removing a floppy disk, make sure that the access LED is off. If you eject a floppy disk while the LED is on, the stored data could be damaged.
