4. Using
Floppy Disk Drive External Connection
For simultaneous CD-ROM and floppy disk drive use without the PortDock, an external floppy disk
drive cable is provided. When installing Windows or anti-virus software, simultaneous CD-ROM and
floppy disk drive is required to create a rescue disk during installation. Of course you can skip this step
and create a rescue disk later after inserting the floppy disk drive but the time required to turn OFF the
Notebook PC and back ON makes it inconvenient. Connect the included floppy disk drive external cable
to the docking connector and connect the floppy disk drive to the end with screws as shown.
NOTE: The floppy disk drive icon on the connector represents the end that connects to the floppy
disk drive and the triangular icon or brand name represents the end that connects to the Notebook
PC. All icons must be faced upwards.

PC to prevent damage to the connector.
