Follow these guidelines to use the floppy disk drive:
♦
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 push it into the drive until it clicks
into place and the eject button next to the slot pops out.
♦
Before removing a diskette, ensure the drive LED is not lit. The LED lights green to indicate
floppy disk drive activity.
♦
Remove the diskette by pushing the eject button adjacent to the floppy disk slot, and then
pulling the diskette out of the drive.
♦
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. To write data to a diskette,
ensure the write-protect opening is covered.
