INSERTING THE DISKETTE INTO THE 2031

STEP 1.
Ensure that the power to the disk drive is OFF and DO NOT apply
power until you complete this step. Open the disk drive door and
ensure that no diskette is present in the drive.
STEP 2.
If the preceding conditions have been met, you may apply power to
the disk drive.
STEP 3.
Insert the diskette into the slot with the write protect tab oriented
to the left (see Figure 3) and push it completely in.
STEP 4.
Once the diskette is in the slot, GENTLY close the door partially to
center the diskette. Repeat this centering action several times and
then close the door firmly. The diskette is now seated and locked in
the drive, ready for processing by the computer.
STEP 5.
To remove the diskette, insert your index finger under the lip of the
door and gently PULL. This will release the door and permit access
to the diskette. The diskette is now free to be removed from the drive.

THE 2031 PERFORMANCE TEST

When you have successfully completed the Power-On test, proceed with the
Performance Test. Don't worry if you don't fully understand exactly what is
happening in this test. At this point, enter the commands just to get a feel for
what you can do with your disk. If UNEXPECTED result are obtained during
any step of the test, stop and start over again. The most likely cause of a problem
is an improperly entered command. This is to be expected until you become
familiar with your disk nit.
All commands are entered via t5he keyboard and must be followed by a carriage
return: press the RETURN key on your keyboard.
Commands must be entered exactly as shown. DO
NOT insert any spaces unless shown in the example.
If the error indicator lights, you may be able to
continue the example anyway. Re-enter your last
command. If the light goes out, your correction was
successful and you may continue.
