Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk Precautions Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. Disk Type The A5000/A4000 disk drive accepts 2HD-type and 2DD-type 3.5" floppy disks. Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: • Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. To eject a floppy disk: • Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the LED below the floppy disk slot is off). Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. • Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during reading or writing. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. • If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. • Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors. 15 q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q A5000/A4000

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care.

Follow the important precautions below.

Disk Type

The A5000/A4000 disk drive accepts 2HD-type and 2DD-type 3.5" floppy disks.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

•

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,

towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it

clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

To eject a floppy disk:

•

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the LED below the

floppy disk slot is off).

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk

is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

•

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during reading or writing. Doing so can

damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.

•

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may

not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk

extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out

the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism

or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or

push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

•

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk

left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and

write errors.
