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 Notebook PC. The USB connector is
designed such that there is only one correct orientation. The
symbol faces upwards.
WARNING! The floppy disk drive’s eject button protrudes out of the Notebook PC
when a floppy disk is fully inserted and can be easily damaged. Eject the floppy disk
before transporting the Notebook PC. TO PREVENT DATA LOSS, FIRST USE “DIS-
CONNECT” FROM THE TASKBAR BEFORE REMOVING THE FLOPPY DRIVE FROM
THE NOTEBOOK PC.
