Handling MO Disks
Enabling & Disabling Write Protection
10.1.2 Using an MO Disk
• Inserting a MO disk upside down, backwards or in the wrong direction may
damage the instrument.
• Do not remove the MO disk or turn off the power while the LED of the MO unit
is lit. Doing so may damage data on the MO disk.
• Do not use the MO unit while the instrument is tilted. The unit may not work
properly.
• Do not subject the MO unit to excessive shock or vibration. Doing so may dam-
age the MO unit.
• To avoid damage to the MO Unit, be sure to remove the MO disk before ship-
ping.
• Use an MO disk in an environment with a temperature of 5 to 35°C.
• Initialize (format) unformatted MO disks before use.
See When using the instrument to initialize an MO disk
"10.1.7 Initializing (Formatting) Storage Media" (
⇒ p. 251)
• Disable write protection before inserting an MO disk. Saving and initializing
cannot be performed while write protection is enabled.
• After an MO disk is inserted, it cannot be accessed until the LED light of the
9717 MO Unit goes out (approximately ten seconds).
• The number of bytes available differs depends on the MO disk type.
