Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Disk Type
The A3000 disk drive accepts 2HD-type and 2DD-type 3.5" floppy disks.
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is
facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly push-
ing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the LED
below the floppy disk slot is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out.
When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during reading or writing. Do-
ing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the
disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed posi-
tion with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this hap-
pens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this
situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot
and then repeat the eject procedure.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A
floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can
cause data read and write errors.
