Floppy Disk Drive (Optional)
A USB floppy disk drive can be connected to the server. The server supports 3.5-inch 2HD (1.44
MB) and 2DD (720KB) floppy disks.
IMPORTANT:
When using a USB floppy disk drive, the access to the floppy disk may be delayed if the display is
showing a moving picture, loading down the graphic interface. In such a case, retry the operation
with the floppy disk inside the floppy disk drive.
Insert/Remove Floppy Disk
Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NEC Express5800/320Fc series is on
(the POWER LED illuminates).
Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly until it snaps in place. The eject button of the drive is then
raised slightly.
CHECK:
You cannot use 1.2 MB-formatted disks.
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 Express5800/320Fc 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.
