CAUTION

To connect the floppy disk drive to the parallel port

If you prefer, you can connect the floppy disk drive to your computer's parallel port using
an external floppy drive cable, available from HP.
• Connect the F2008 cable directly to the floppy drive and to the computer parallel port.
Before disconnecting the floppy disk drive, use the icon in the taskbar to stop the drive,
or else shut down the computer. See "To replace a plug-in module" on page 76.

To insert or remove a CD or DVD

Do not remove a CD or DVD while the computer is reading it. Otherwise, the
computer could stop responding and you could lose data.
Be sure to press the CD or DVD onto the spindle. You can damage the disk or
drive if you just lay it on the tray.
1. Press the button on the face of the CD-ROM or DVD drive. If you are using this drive
for the first time, be sure to remove the cardboard packing insert.
2. Place the CD into the drive (label facing up) and gently press down to seat it on the
spindle.
