4. Using the Notebook PC

USB Floppy Disk Drive (Optional)

The Notebook PC features an optional USB-interface disk drive that accepts a standard 1.44MB (or
720KB) 3.5-inch floppy diskette. The eject button is 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 disk drive. Floppy access
activity can be monitored through the LED on the front of the floppy disk drive.

Connection

Connection is very easy because of USB technology. The USB floppy disk drive is compatible with
existing USB standards and will work on all computers with the proper drivers installed. Simply plug in
the floppy disk drive cable to one of the two USB ports on the rear-left end of the Notebook PC. The
USB connector is designed such that there is only one correct orientation. The

symbol faces

upwards.

WARNING! 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.
