Learning the Basics
Using diskettes
Diskette drive
The diskette-in-use indicator glows while the drive is being
accessed. However, you will find that the diskette/DVD light on
the system indicator panel is easier to see while you are working.
The eject button releases the diskette from the drive.
Inserting and removing diskettes
To insert a diskette in the drive:
1 Hold the diskette so that the arrow on its upper surface points
toward the drive.
2 Push the diskette gently into the drive.
When the diskette is in place, the eject button pops out.
To remove a diskette from the drive, press the eject button.
CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the
computer while the diskette/DVD light is glowing. Doing so
could destroy data and damage the diskette or the drive.
Caring for diskettes
To protect the data stored on your diskettes:
❖ Store your diskettes in their boxes or other containers to
protect them and keep them clean.
❖ Never slide back the protective metal cover.
