Learning the Basics
Using compact discs
❖ Avoid touching the magnetic surface of a diskette.
Fingerprints can prevent the drive from reading the data stored
on a diskette.
❖ Never twist or bend a diskette.
❖ Keep diskettes at room temperature and avoid exposing them
to direct sunlight. Otherwise, data may be lost.
❖ Never place heavy objects on your diskettes.
❖ Never eat, smoke, or use erasers near diskettes. Foreign
particles can damage the diskette’s surface.
❖ Keep diskettes away from sources of magnetism, such as
speakers and radios, since these can destroy data.
❖ If the diskette is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth moistened in
water. Don’t use cleaning fluids.
Using compact discs
The compact disc drive lets you read both DVD-ROM and
CD-ROM discs.
This section provides information on inserting, removing and
caring for your discs.
DVD-ROM drive
The disc-in-use light illuminates when the DVD-ROM 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.
