3/2 LS/VS 550 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
The HD disks have the HD logo near the shutter and an extra
hole beside the label. This enables the drive to distinguish between
the two. The other hole which exists on both disks is the write
protect tab (on the underside). Keep diskettes well away from dust,
moisture, magnetic objects, and equipment that generates magnetic
fields. Also, avoid extremes of temperature and exposure to direct
sunlight. Otherwise, data recorded on the diskette may become
corrupted.
Inserting a diskette
A diskette is inserted into the diskette drive slot shutter-foremost,
and with its label side facing up. Some diskettes have a small arrow
on the face of the diskette; this must point towards the drive when
you insert the diskette:
Push the diskette all the way in until it engages with the drive
mechanism. When the drives eject
button pops out, the diskette is
fully engaged.
Removing a diskette
Before attempting to remove a diskette, make sure that the drive is
not currently in use (the diskette activity indicator, opposite the
drives eject
button must be unlit). Press the eject button on the
drive. The drive mechanism disengages and the diskette is ejected
half-way out of the drive.
If a diskette becomes stuck in the drive, perhaps because its label has
peeled back, do
not
attempt to remove it with tweezers or any
