NOTE
The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too slowly, the system responds as if you
clicked twice. You can adjust the double-click speed using the operating system’s Mouse
application.
To use the mouse, make sure it is properly connected to the system. Place the mouse on a
clean, flat surface, such as a desktop or a mouse pad. Move the mouse across the flat surface to
move the pointer across the screen.
Using the Floppy Disk Drive
The system’s floppy disk drive occupies a 3.5-inch peripheral device bay, and is accessible
through a 3.5-inch slot on the front of the base unit. The drive accepts standard 3.5-inch
720 KB and 1.44 MB diskettes.
Follow these guidelines to use the floppy disk drive:
u
To insert a diskette into the drive, position the diskette so the arrow embossed on the
diskette faces up. Slide the diskette into the floppy disk slot and through the drive door,
and push it into the drive until it clicks into place and the eject button next to the slot pops
out.
u
Before removing a diskette, ensure the drive LED is not lit. The LED lights green to
indicate floppy disk drive activity.
u
Remove the diskette by pushing the eject button adjacent to the floppy disk slot, and then
pulling the diskette out of the drive.
u
To protect the data on a diskette from being overwritten or erased, slide the write-protect
tab on the diskette toward the diskette edge until it snaps into place. When the write-
protect opening is uncovered, the disk can be read from, but not written to. To write data
to a diskette, ensure the write-protect opening is covered.
Using the CD-ROM Drive
The system’s CD-ROM drive occupies a 5.25-inch peripheral device bay, and is accessible
through a tray or a slot at the front of the base unit. The CD-ROM drive is an Enhanced
Integrated Device Electronics (EIDE) device that features MPC-3 compatibility and multi-
session Photo CD support. The drive also supports software ejection of discs and has an
external amplified headphone jack.
If you purchased a DVD-ROM drive to replace the standard CD-ROM drive, you can use it as a
standard CD-ROM drive.
