Using diskettes
For those systems with an optional external USB diskette
drive, 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.
Sample diskette drive
The disc/disk activity indicator flashes when the diskette
drive is in use. See
“System indicator panel” on page 40 for
more information on the location of system indicators.
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. 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.
Caring for diskettes
❖ Store your diskettes properly to protect them and keep
them clean.
❖ If a diskette is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth moistened
in water. Do not use cleaning fluids.
❖ Never slide back the protective metal cover.
