Hard Disk
Drive
The Extensa computer comes with a
1.43 GB or higher capacity hard disk
drive. The hard disk drive is formatted
and loaded with software during
manufacture. Do not format the hard
disk drive.
CD-ROM
Drive
The high-speed CD-ROM drive brings
you portable multimedia. The CD-ROM
drive is a removable module that
interchanges with the floppy disk drive
in the modular bay. Refer to Swapping
Modules later in this section.
Floppy Disk
Drive
The floppy disk drive can access
formatted 3.5-inch, double-sided, high-
density (2HD), 1.44 MB floppy disks
and lower capacity, 720 KB, double-
density (2DD) floppy disks. The floppy
disk drive does not function at low
speed with the OS/2™ or Xenix
operating systems.
The floppy disk drive can be installed
into the modular bay, replacing the
CD-ROM drive. You can also use the
floppy disk drive externally by
connecting it to the parallel port. This
setup allows you to use your floppy
disk drive and CD-ROM drive
simultaneously. Refer to Connecting
the Floppy Disk Drive Externally.
