The 3.5-inch diskette drive, which fits in the Modular Bay,
lets you use either double-density (720 KB) or high-density
(1.44 MB) diskettes for data transfer and storage.

use.

Inserting and removing diskettes

1Hold the diskette so that the arrow on its upper surface
points toward the drive.
2Push the diskette gently into the drive slot on the left side
of the computer. 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.
