Floppy Drive Guidelines
Failure to observe the following precautions can
damage both the floppy drive and the data on
the floppy:
Insert the floppy into the floppy drive slot
label side up and the metal-shutter end
first. Gently push the floppy into the floppy
drive slot until the floppy clicks into place.
To remove a floppy, press the eject button
until the floppy pops out.
Never remove a floppy while the indicator on
the floppy drive is on.
Never force open the access shutter on a
floppy.
Always remove a floppy from the floppy
drive before turning off the computer.
Never transport the computer with a floppy
in the floppy drive. Doing so can damage
the drive head.
If a floppy is damaged, try to make a copy of
it and immediately discard it.
Keep floppies when not in use in a storage
box to protect them from damage or loss.
