Disk Pack Handling and Storage
The following common sense rules are the prereq:uisites for proper disk pack
handling:
•
Always keep a disk pack in its carrying case whenever it is not on a disk pack
drive.
• The bottom cover of the disk pack carrying case may be removed easily by
squeezing the latch on the bottom cover; the top cover is designed so that it can-
not be removed until the disk pack is mounted on the spindle.
• Always reassemble the disk pack carrying case covers even when the disk pack
is not inside.
•
N ever touch disk pack recording surfaces or the spindle mating surface with
anything.
•
Do not expose a disk pack to stray magnetic fields, excessive pressure, or sharp
impact.
• Return every disk pack to its own carrying case.
•
N ever store a disk pack where the temperature exceeds the limit of 60°F -90°F
(15°C-32°C). If the limit has been exceeded, keep the disk pack in the operating
room temperature for two hours before it is used.
• Store a disk pack in an environment identical to the disk pack drive operating
environment.
•
N ever store a disk pack near strong magnetic fields or in direct sunlight.
• Store a disk pack flat, resting on its bottom cover. Never store a disk pack on
edge.
