3. Push the diskette into the slot until it clicks into place. Be careful not
to force it.

When the diskette is in all the way, press the PUSH button on a
360KB floppy disk drive, or turn the latch on a 1.2MB floppy disk
drive clockwise until it locks into the vertical position. This keeps the
diskette in place while you use it, and enables the read/write heads in
the disk drive to access the diskette.
To remove the diskette, press the PUSH button again or turn the
latch counterclockwise until it is horizontal. As you release the PUSH
button or turn the latch, the labelled edge of the diskette pops out. Care-
fully pull out the diskette, place it in its protective envelope, and store it
properly, such as in a special diskette container.
WARNING: Never remove a diskette from a drive or turn off the com-
puter while a drive’s red LED lamp is on. This can destroy
data stored on disk or make an entire disk unusable. When
all drive LED lamps are off, remove all diskettes before you
turn off the computer.
