Inserting Diskettes
You should never remove or insert a diskette while the disk drive indicator light is on.
(The computer turns the indicator light on to let you know that it is reading or writing
from the disk.) Always wait for the indicator light to go off before opening the disk
drive door. Failure to do this may result in damaging the diskette or loss of data on
the diskette. Insert a diskette into a disk drive as follows:
1. Open the diskette drive door.
2. Gently insert the diskette with the label facing up and the notch to the left, if
provided.
!
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to force the diskette into the drive.
3. Slide the diskette in as far as it will go, but do not force it. You may hear a click
when the diskette is all the way in.
If resistance is felt or it does not slide in easily, remove the diskette and insert it
again.
4. Close (latch) the disk drive door.
When you are instructed to insert a diskette into a drive, it is implied that you should
open the door, slide the diskette in all the way, and close (latch) the door.
Removing Diskettes
Wait for the indicator light on the disk drive to go off. Open the disk drive door. The
diskette may pop out for easy removal. (Opening up a disk drive door is similar to
ejecting a cassette from a cassette recorder.) After the diskette has been removed,
place it into its protective envelope or storage facility.
