3.Push the diskette into the slot until it clicks into place. Be careful not to force it.

4.When the diskette is in all the way, press the PUSH button on a 360KB floppy disk drive, or turn the latch on a 1.2MB floppy disk drive clockwise until it locks into the vertical position. This keeps the diskette in place while you use it, and enables the read/write heads in the disk drive to access the diskette.

To remove the diskette, press the PUSH button again or turn the latch counterclockwise until it is horizontal. As you release the PUSH button or turn the latch, the labelled edge of the diskette pops out. Carefully pull out the diskette, place it in its protective envelope, and store it properly, such as in a special diskette container.

WARNING: Never remove a diskette from a drive or turn off the computer while a drive’s red LED lamp is on. This can destroy data stored on disk or make an entire disk unusable. When all drive LED lamps are off, remove all diskettes before you turn off the computer.
