Removing The Disk Drive Protector Sheets - Epson Equity I User Manual

Removing the disk drive protector sheets

A cardboard sheet occupies the disk slot in the floppy-disk drive.
This sheet is inserted at the factory to protect the recording heads.
Remove the sheet before you connect any cable. Press the button
labelled PUSH on the left side of the drive. The button pops out when
you press it, along with the edge of the protector sheet. Carefully pull out
this sheet.
Save the protector sheet and reinsert it whenever you move the com-
puter, even if you are just moving it to another part of the room. If you
are not going to use your computer for a week or more, such as when
you go on vacation, reinsert the protector sheet to help keep dust from
entering the disk drive.
