Epson LT-286e ユーザーズマニュアル

To remove the write protection, move the switch up toward the

center of the diskette to cover the opening.

Unlike a diskette, a hard disk is rigid and fixed in place. It is

sealed in a protective environment free of dust and dirt. A hard

disk stores data the same way as a diskette, but it works much

faster and has a much larger storage capacity.

You can do almost all your work on the hard disk and copy your

files to diskettes whenever you need to make backups or transfer

data to another computer system. However, to ensure that you

always have plenty of space available, keep only files you use

regularly on the hard disk. Store your other files on diskettes.

You must prepare a new hard disk before using it for the first

time. Perform all procedures in your MS-DOS Installation

Guide.

To avoid damaging your hard disk, take these precautions:

Keep your computer away from magnetic fields, such as

electrical appliances, telephones, and loudspeakers.

Keep your computer in a moderate environment. Hard disks

work best at room temperature and in normal humidity.

Never turn off the computer’s power or remove the hard

disk when the hard disk icon is on. This icon indicates that

the computer is currently copying data to or from the hard

disk. If you interrupt this process, you may lose data.
