Usage Precautions - Panasonic CF-VFS271 Bedienungsanleitung

Usage Precautions

• Do not leave a disk in the drive while transporting your computer.
Remove the disk by pressing the eject button before your computer is OFF or enters
the suspend/hibernation mode, so the head locking mechanism may engage when the
computer is powered off.
• Do not remove a disk while accessing data. This may damage data on the disk.
(While accessing the disk, the access lamp ( 0 ) lights. Be sure that the access lamp is
turned off when removing a disk.)
• Never insert foreign objects into the slot of the Superdisk Drive Pack. It may cause a
malfunction.
• Only use labels that come with disks.
• If dust has accumulated on the head surface, problems may occur when reading or writing
data. In this case, cleaning the head is recommended using a cleaner kit. (LS120HCL
produced by Imation)
• During the initial 10 seconds after inserting a Superdisk or during data access, a shrill noise
may be produced. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not place the AC adapter to the front of the Superdisk Drive Pack. Magnetic noise may
cause an error.
• Do not disassemble the Superdisk Drive Pack.
• Do not use the Superdisk Drive Pack during the initial boot up of the computer (when
creating the Firstaid FD).
<Formatting the disk>
The Superdisk Drive Pack can be used to access both Superdisks and standard floppy disks.
(It may take about 30 minutes to format the Superdisk. Because of this, be sure to disable the
power saving function beforehand by, for example, pressing (Fn) + (W) so as not to enter
the power saving mode while formatting the Superdisk.)
• An error may occur later in the process of formatting a write-protected medium. To
prevent this, be sure to format the medium after confirming beforehand that the write-
protect state has been changed.
• DISKCOPY command does not support the Superdisk.
• When MS-Backup is executed, the message "No Controller board detected" may be
displayed. In this case, replace the Superdisk Pack to the floppy disk drive, execute
MS-Backup. When an error message is displayed, click [OK], then continue running
the MS-backup program. After MS-Backup, insert the Superdisk Pack again,
• If [3 1/2 Floppy (A:)J is accessed when the floppy disk drive or Superdisk Drive Pack is
not connected, it may take several minutes for the computer to resume operation. Be­
cause of this, be sure that either the floppy disk drive. Superdisk Drive pack, or CD-
ROM pack has been set in the multimedia pocket before pressing [3 1/2 Floppy (A:)]).^
