Flash Fdd - NEC Express5800 User Manual

Flash FDD

A Flash FDD is compatible with a floppy disk.
Only one Flash FDD can be connected to the USB connector of the server.
If a Floppy Disk Drive has been connected to the server, be sure to disconnect it.
Be careful so that the connected Flash FDD is not lost or stolen. Loss, theft, or
misappropriation of the Flash FDD, as well as fraud involving the Flash FDD,
might cause personal data to be leaked to third parties. NEC is not liable for
damage caused by such leakage.
IMPORTANT:
The status before connecting a Flash FDD to the server is applied to
its write protect switch. Therefore, changing this write protect
switch after connecting the Flash FDD to the server is ignored.
If it becomes necessary to change the write protect switch while
using the connected Flash FDD, disconnect the Flash FDD, and then
change the switch.
Be careful not to slide the Flash FDD write protect switch when
connecting or disconnecting the Flash FDD.
Precautions
Use a Flash FDD only for temporary purposes such as loading the device drivers during OS
installation. Do not use it to back up data.
Compensation for Saved Data
NEC is not liable for data saved in a Flash FDD and will not provide compensation if such data is
lost.
Handling the Flash FDD
Do not turn off the Flash FDD while the access LED of the unit is blinking. Doing so
might cause the Flash FDD to fail or corrupt data saved in it.
A Flash FDD is a consumable product. If an error occurs in a Flash FDD, use a new Flash
FDD instead of continuing to use the old one.
Be sure to connect a Flash FDD directly to a USB connector, not by way of a USB hub.
Before touching a Flash FDD, eliminate static electricity from your body by touching
metal such as a door knob or aluminum sash.
