Using diskettes
The 3.5-inch diskette drive lets you use either double-
density (720 KB) or high-density (1.44 MB) diskettes for
data transfer and storage.
Diskette drive
The diskette activity light glows while the drive is being
accessed. You will find that the disk activity light on the
system indicator panel is easier to see while you are
working.
Inserting and removing diskettes
1 Hold the diskette so that the arrow on its upper surface
points toward the drive.
2 Push the diskette gently into the drive slot on the left
side of the computer. When the diskette is in place, the
eject button pops out.
To release a diskette from the drive, push the eject button.
CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the
computer while the light is glowing. Doing so could destroy
data and damage the diskette or the drive.
