Caring for Diskettes
When handling and using diskettes, follow these precautions:
Never use damaged diskettes in the computer
Do not store diskettes near magnetic sources
Removable Mass-Storage Drives
You can install removable-mass storage drive modules such as a CD-ROM drive or SuperDisk drive in the
modular bay.
NOTICE: Follow these precautions when using your drive:
Protect the drives when they are not in the modular bay. Do not squeeze the drive
or place objects on top of it; doing so could damage the drive motor. Keep the
drive as clean as possible.
Do not use the drive while the computer is in motion. Doing so could interrupt the
flow of data between the disc and the hard-disk drive or diskette drive.
For instructions on installing a removable mass-storage drive module in the modular bay, see " Modular
Bay ."
NOTE: If the computer is docked, turn off the computer and undock it before installing or removing a
drive.
CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM Drives
NOTICE: Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the drive. Never touch the
lens.
To play a disc:
1. Make sure the appropriate drive is installed in the modular bay .
