Using the Diskette Drive
Your computer was shipped with a 3.5-inch diskette drive (see Figure 1 ) in the media bay. To use another device in the media bay, first remove
the diskette drive. For detailed instructions on installing devices in the media bay, see "Using the Media Bay" in Chapter 2 of the Reference and
Troubleshooting Guide.
The diskette drive lets you install programs and transfer data using 3.5-inch diskettes.
Figure 1. Diskette Drive Installed in Computer
To use the diskette drive, insert a 3.5-inch diskette into the drive (label side up and metal end first). Push the diskette into the drive until the eject
button extends outside the drive casing.
To remove a diskette from the drive, press the eject button to release the diskette, and then pull the diskette out of the drive.
NOTE: Softex BayManager and Softex Docking Services do not report a second battery installed in the media bay on the
Storage Devices tab.
NOTICE: When the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, SuperDisk LS-120, diskette drives, and Zip drives are not inside the
computer, they are fragile and must be handled carefully to avoid damage. Do not press down on the drives or place
heavy objects on top of them. Place the drives in a travel case to keep them free of dust and liquids. Store the drives in
a safe place.
NOTE: If the computer is docked to the advanced port replicator (APR), turn off the computer and undock it before
installing or removing a diskette drive.
NOTICE: Do not travel with a diskette in the diskette drive. Doing so could break the eject button and damage the
drive.
