2.
3.
4.
Ensure the write enable notch is not
obstructed
Cover the write enable notch with a piece of
tape

To allow for greater densities on a 3.5-inch
floppy disk, the plastic cover provides what
function, if any?
1. It stabilizes the disk as the disk spins
2. It makes it harder to damage the disk
3. It allows for greater disk speeds
4. None; it serves no function in increasing
disk density
When you handle a 3.5-inch floppy disk, what
feature, if any, eliminates the need for you to
keep the disk in a disk jacket?
1.
2.
3
4.
The rigid plastic case
The spring-loaded metal shutter
The exposed media access hole
None; you should always store a 3.5-inch
disk in-a jacket
What action, if any, is necessary to write data on
a 3.5-inch disk?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Ensure the write enable slide is positioned
so you can see a hole in the disk case
Ensure the write enable slide is positioned
so that no hole is visible through the disk
case
Ensure the disk has not been formatted
None; no action is necessary to write on a
3.5-inch disk
The presence of a media indicator hole in a
3.5-inch disk case indicates what about the disk?
1. It has been properly inserted in the drive
2. It can be formatted as a 720K disk only
3. It can be formatted as a 1.44M disk
4. It has been preformatted

To adjust the speed of some older full-height,
belt-driven floppy disk drives, which of the
following actions should you perform?
1. Replace the drive belt only
2. Observe the data on the floppy disk with an
oscilloscope and adjust for maximum signal
3. Observe the drive speed frequency with an
oscilloscope and adjust for proper speed
4. Observe the strobo-disk under a fluorescent
light and adjust the speed until the
strobo-disk spokes appear to be stationary
Which of the following is NOT a function of the
drive electronic circuit board?
1. To control the electromechanical parts of the
disk drive
2. To control the operation of the read/write
heads
3. To interface the disk drive to the computer
4. To interface the disk drive to the disk
controller
