USING THE NOTEBOOK PC
Introduction
This Section describes the basic features and procedures for using your Notebook PC. Topics covered include the floppy
drive, CD-ROM drive, pointing device, and other input and output devices.
Storage Device Modules
Data storage and retrieval are two of the most fundamental tasks you will perform when working with your computer.
The Notebook PC is equipped with a 3.5” floppy drive, a hard disk drive, and a CD-ROM drive. An optional DVD may
be selected at the time of purchase. The following sections will cover instructions for operating each of these drives.
Floppy Drive
The Notebook PC features a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive that accepts standard 1.44MB (or 720KB) floppy diskettes. The
eject button is placed on the top edge of the floppy disk drive for easy access, unlike desktop PCs with the eject button
on the bottom of the floppy drive. There is no activity LED for the floppy drive, but instead a floppy diskette icon shows
on the status panel during reading or writing activity.
CAUTION! Because the eject button protrudes out when a floppy diskette is inserted, you must remove the floppy
diskette during transport to prevent breakage of the eject button.
