FD is damaged or lost.

1. Turn off the computer’s power.
2. Connect the diskette drive to a USB port on the computer.
3. Set a diskette’s write-protect tab to the write enable position and insert the
diskette in the drive.
NOTE: All data on the diskette will be destroyed.
4. Turn on the computer’s power.
Password= will be displayed on the LCD.
5. Enter the password.
6. Press the Tab key.
Insert FD Ready (Y/N) will be displayed on the LCD.
7. Press Y.
Remove FD press key will be displayed on the LCD.
8. Remove the diskette and press any key.Supervisor password
