SuperDisk™ 120 Drive

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a SuperDisk drive, which can use either standard floppy disks or Super floppy disks (with a capacity of 120MB).

C A U T I O N

Your SuperDisk 120 drive does not support warm-, or hot-swapping. You must cold-swap in order to use your SuperDisk 120 drive.

1.Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive. (Figure 4-4)

2.Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button pops out and you hear a click.

EJECTING A DISK

To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy steps:

1.Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is inactive.

2.Press the Eject button. This will push your disk partially out of the drive.

3.Remove the disk.

If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is active, there is a risk of damaging the data on the disk, the disk itself or even the disk drive.

When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is flush with your notebook.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE

Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared so your notebook knows where to store information. This preparation is called formatting or initializing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk)
