The external diskette drive should be placed on a flat, horizontal surface
when in use. Do not set the drive on an incline greater than 20° while it is
operating.
Do not set anything on top of the diskette drive.
If you need to boot the computer from the diskette drive or if you use an
OS that does not support USB, you must set the USBFDD Legacy
Emulation feature in HW Setup to Enabled. Refer to the USB section in
Chapter 7, HW Setup.
