Using Disk Drives
Insert the floppy into the floppy drive slot
with the 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 appears to be damaged, try to
make a copy of it, and immediately discard
it.
Keep all floppies when not in use in a disk
storage box to protect them from damage or
loss.
Do not use the floppy disk drive when you
are experiencing low battery conditions.
