Portable Computers User's Guide

Your computer was shipped with a 3.5-inch diskette drive installed in the external media bay. For more information on using and installing devices

in the external media bay, see "Using the External Media Bay."

The diskette drive lets you install programs and transfer data using 3.5-inch diskettes.

To use the diskette drive, insert a 3.5-inch diskette into the drive (label side up and metal end first). Push the diskette into the drive until the eject

button extends outside the drive casing.

NOTICE: Do not travel with a diskette in the diskette drive. Doing so could break the eject button and damage the drive.

To remove a diskette from the drive, press the eject button to release the diskette, and then pull the diskette out of the drive.

When data is being accessed from the diskette drive, the drive access indicator blinks.

NOTE: As an alternative diskette drive configuration, you can connect the diskette drive to the parallel connector on the back of the

computer using an optional cable available from Dell. If you are running either the Microsoft®Windows®95 or Windows 98 operating

system on your computer and the Diskette Reconfig option is enabled in the System Setup program, you do not have to reboot the

computer when you connect the diskette drive to the parallel connector. If you are running the Microsoft Windows NT®operating system

on your computer, reboot the computer after you connect the diskette drive.
