5-4 Installing Software
Loading Software Loading software
from floppy disks Your computer has a standard 3.5-inch floppy
disk drive. If you are loading software from
floppy disks, insert disk 1 into the floppy disk
drive (Drive A) and follow the directions for
installing the software.
Advantages of using
your CD-ROM
module There are at least four good reasons to have
access to a CD-ROM drive module for your
computer.
• Many software packages are available only
on CD-ROM.
• Many others that are available on floppy
disks have additional files and reference
material that is only available on the
CD-ROM versions.
• Software manufacturers frequently charge
more, sometimes much more, for floppy
disk versions.
• Loading software packages from floppy
disks takes longer and is more
cumbersome.
Loading software
from
CD-ROM
If you are loading software from a CD-ROM,
insert the CD-ROM disc label-side up into the
carrier for the optional CD-ROM drive module
and close the CD-ROM drive (Drive D). Follow
the directions for installing the software.
