*Optional device
An external USB floppy disk drive is available as an
option for your LifeBook notebook. The external floppy
disk drive can read and write information on removable
1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.
LOADING A DISK
To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1.
Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards
and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.
(Figure 4-6)
2.
Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button
pops out and you hear a click.
EJECTING A DISK
To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1.
Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator
is inactive.
2.
Press the Eject button. This will push your disk
partially out of the drive.
3.
Remove the disk.
PREPARING A DISK FOR USE
Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-
mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-
izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless
they are preformatted.
(Please refer to your operating
system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a
disk)
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a
disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or
remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write
protect” tab to close the small hole.

Illustration may vary,
depending upon which external
floppy disk drive you are using.
Your notebook is preconfigured to boot
from a USB floppy drive. Reference the
BIOS manual for further information on
changing the default boot drive. The BIOS
manual can be found on the Fujitsu Com-
puter Systems support website:

.
When there is no disk in the drive, the
Eject button is flush with your notebook.
If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk
Drive Access indicator is active, there is a
risk of damaging the data on the disk, the
disk itself or even the disk drive.
Formatting a floppy disk that already con-
tains data will erase all of the information
on the disk.
