Using the optional diskette drive
A diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called floppy disks). Diskettes
are useful for storing files or transferring files to another computer.
To use a diskette:
1
Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label facing up.
2
To access a file on the diskette, click
Start
, then click
My Computer
.
Double-click the drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click
the file name.
3
To remove the diskette, make sure that the activity indicator or the module
status indicator (see
“Status indicators” on page 25 ) is off, then press the
diskette eject button.
Caution Do not expose diskettes to water or magnetic fields.
Exposure could damage the data on the diskette.
Important If the diskette drive is not in the modular bay, you need to
swap modules. For more information about swapping
modules, see
“Changing modules” on page 104 .
