B-2 Notes on use The floppy disk is an important data storage media with delicate structure and requires care. Keep the following notes in mind to use it: Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive gently as far as it goes. Attach the label to the correct position. Do not write anything directly onto the disk surface with a pencil or ball-point pen. Do not open the shutter. Do not use the floppy disk in a dusty place. Do not place anything on the floppy disk.
B-3 Data backup "Data backup" is to copy data stored in a media into another media (e.g., floppy disk, digital audio tape, or magnet-optical disk). IMPORTANT: Make sure to make a back-up copy of every floppy disk, if provided. The floppy disk is a very delicate storage media. Dust or thermal changes, as well as operator's misconduct or sever failures, may cause loss of data. To avoid loss of data, we recommend that you should make a back-up copy of your valuable data on a regular basis.
B-4 Keyboard The keyboard is a device to instruct you computer by entering alphanumeric characters or symbols. IMPORTANT: Do not pour any liquid such as water or put anything into the keyboard. Doing so may cause a failure of the keyboard. The keyboard provided with the server is designed for adjustment of an angle. Adjust the keyboard angle at which the keyboard is easy to operate. The adjustment assists in reducing strain on your shoulders, arms, and fingers.
B-5 Mouse Like the keyboard, the mouse is a device to instruct your computer. Many operating systems and application software require the mouse for operation. NOTE: Functions assigned to the mouse buttons vary depending on the software. For details, refer to the manual provided with the software. Use the mouse on a clean desk. Using the mouse on a dusty or dirty desk disturbs smooth movement or normal operation of the mouse. When your mouse movement seems dull, clean your mouse. (See Chapter 7.
