To insert a diskette into the drive:

Open the drive door.

If you haven’t already done so, remove the protective cardboard insert from the drive.

Gently insert the diskette into the drive entry slot with its label facing up, and the write protect notch to the left.

When the diskette is all the way in, close the drive door by turning the door latch handle down.

Caution!

If any resistance is felt when closing the drive door, stop and reinsert the diskette.

To remove a diskette from a floppy disk drive:

Be sure the drive indicator light is off

Caution!

It is very important that you never remove a diskette from an active drive. Doing so can destroy the information on the diskette. If the computer system is “locked-up” with the drive indicator light on, RESET the computer before removing the diskette.
