Using the diskette drive
The optional diskette drive (not available on all systems) uses
3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called
floppy disks ). Diskettes
are useful for storing files or transferring files to another
computer. (Your computer’s diskette drive may look different.)
To load 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 Computer . Double-click the diskette drive letter
(for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file
name.
3
To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity
light is off, then press the eject button.
Adjusting the volume
You can adjust volume using your speakers’ controls or the
Windows volume controls. You can also adjust the volume of
specific sound devices in your computer.
To adjust the overall volume using hardware controls:
•
If you are using external speakers, turn the knob on the
front of the speakers.
-OR-
Use the mute and volume control buttons on the
keyboard. For more information, see
“Using the
keyboard” on page 19 .
