Built-in Floppy Disk Drive

On the right side of the notebook, you will find the floppy disk drive which supports 3.5-
inch 1.44MB high density (HD) diskettes or 720KB double-sided (DS) diskettes. Insert the
floppy diskette with the metal shutter towards the drive and the diskette label facing up. To
remove the floppy diskette, you press the eject button found on the upper right of the
floppy disk drive.

Hard Disk Drive Compartment

Just beside the floppy disk drive is the notebook’s internal hard drive. The NEC Versa 550
provides industry standard 2.5-inch IDE hard disk drive at 340MB and 540MB. The System
BIOS of the notebook also includes Auto IDE detection and LBA mode for easy installa-
tion as well as later upgrade for higher capacity disk drives.
