MS660 OWNER’S HANDBOOK 2/9
Removing a PD cartridge/compact disc
Before attempting to remove a CD or PD cartridge from the drive,
ensure that the drive is not currently active (wait for the drive’s busy
activity indicator to stop flashing).
Press the Eject button. The drive mechanism disengages and the
platter is ejected.
To eject the drawer manually (for example, during a power failure)
you must ensure that the computer is turned off. Then insert a thin
metal rod (such as a unwound paper clip) into the emergency eject
hole and push (as shown for emergency eject of the CD-ROM
drive).
Write-protecting a PD cartridge
A PD cartridge can be write-protected by sliding the red switch (you
will need to use a pen or pencil tip) on the cartridge to the locked
position (marked with a closed padlock symbol) as shown below:
Cleaning your drives
Cleaning a floppy drive
Do not insert cotton buds or other implements into the drive door.
If you think the drive needs cleaning, obtain a specialist cleaning kit
from a reputable supplier. It looks like a floppy disk, but has a
special head cleaning surface inside which removes dust and fluff
from the reading heads and the mechanism. They should be used
only once and then discarded.
