Using a StorageWorks Disk Drive

StorageWorks disk drives are mass storage devices. They are located in a seven-bay

shelf on the front right of the system unit, behind the door.

When the system is turned on and during periods of activity, the StorageWorks disk

drive indicator lights blink, but do not stay on. Table 4-5 explains the meaning of the

indicator lights.

Caring for Your System

Before doing any cleaning of your system, make sure you turn off the system and

disconnect any external devices. When using a moistened cloth for cleaning, do not

allow any excess fluid to leak into the system, keyboard, or monitor. Wait until the

system is completely dry before turning it on.

Cleaning Your System Unit

Clean the outside of your system periodically with a soft cloth lightly moistened with

a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning Your Mouse

If your mouse does not move smoothly or if the pointer jumps across the screen when

you are using the mouse, the ball inside the mouse may need cleaning. To clean the

ball, do the following:

1. Turn the mouse over and remove the plate on the bottom.

2. Remove the rubber ball.

3. Clean the ball and rollers with a cotton swab that has been lightly dampened with

a mild detergent.

4. Replace the ball and plate.
