Never attempt to open the hard disk unit. The disk itself is enclosed in

an air-tight container to protect it from dust.

If you plan to move the hard disk unit, the read/write head must be

moved away from the disk recording area. The MS-DOS program to

protect the read/write head is HDSIT. Refer to your Diagnostics or
MS-DOS manual for details.

Inserting and removing diskettes

To insert a diskette into a disk drive, hold it with the label face up and

the write-protect notch to the left (so that the read/write slot is away from
you). Then slide it into the disk drive as shown in Figure 2-3. Be careful not
to force the diskette into the slot. When it is all the way in, push in the disk
lock/release button to secure the diskette in the drive. This enables the
read/write heads to access the diskette.

Figure 2-3.

Inserting diskettes

To remove the diskette, press the button again. As you release it, the

labelled edge of the diskette pops out. Carefully pull out the diskette, place it
in its protective envelope and store it properly,
