follows: hold the diskette with the label facing up and the

read/write slot leading into the drive, as shown below.

Slide the diskette into the slot until it is in all the way. Then
turn the latch down to lock it in a vertical position. This
keeps the diskette in place and enables the read/write heads

in the drive to access the diskette.

When you want to remove a diskette, first make sure the disk

drive light is off. Then flip up the latch and carefully pull out

the diskette. Place it in its protective envelope and store it in

a proper location, such as a diskette container.
