1.4 CARTRIDGE DISK HANDLING AND STORAGE
Upon receipt of cartridge disks, inspect them for signs of shipping damage. Allow at least
one hour for temperature adjustment to the computer-room environment before using.
Recommended storage is on shelves in the computer or control room.
Although the cartridge protects the disk from most accidental damage, the following
cartridge handling rules should be observed:
•
Do not try to open the cartridge when it is outside the drive.
•
Do not insert objects into the cartridge or drive.
•
Remove the cartridge from the drive after use and store in its protective jacket.
•
Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or moisture.
•
Do not expose the cartridge to magnetic fields greater than 30 oersteds.
•
Protect the cartridge from dirt, spills, and harsh environments.
•
Avoid handling the front edge of the cartridge, since oils can be transferred from the
hands to the cartridge disk.
1.4.1 Cartridge Loading and Removal
1. Drive power must be on before the cartridge can be inserted. If power to the drive is
off, the latch pin in the drive will prevent cartridge insertion.
2. The cartridge is inserted into the drive shutter first. The cartridge edge containing the
shutter faces toward the stop button on the front of the drive (see Figure 1-4).
Interlocks in the system prevent improper cartridge insertion.
CAUTION
If the cartridge is difficult to insert, check its orientation and try again. Do not force the
cartridge into the drive. Objects inserted into the cartridge opening in the front of the drive
may cause damage to the drive. Such action will void the manufacturer's warranty.
3. After loading a cartridge, the green indicator on the front of the drive, next to the stop
button, blinks as the motor is coming up to speed. When the indicator stops blinking
and stays lit, the drive is READY (see Figure 1-4).
