Diskette Drive: Dell™ Latitude™ CPx
H-Series/J-Series User's Guide
Your computer was shipped with a 3.5-inch diskette drive (see Figure 1) in the modular bay. To use another device in the modular
bay, first remove the diskette drive. For detailed instructions on installing devices in
the modular bay, see "Using the Modular
Bay."
 |
NOTE: If the computer is docked to the C/Port Family Advanced
Port Replicator (APR) or the C/Dock Family Expansion Station, turn off the computer and
undock it before installing or removing a diskette drive. |
The diskette drive lets you install programs and transfer data using
3.5-inch diskettes.
Figure 1. Diskette Drive
Installed in Computer
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 in the modular
bay, the drive access indicator blinks.
|
NOTE: You can use the diskette drive externally by connecting
it to the parallel connector on the back of the computer. If you are running either the
Microsoft® Windows® 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 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, you do need to reboot the computer after you connect the diskette drive. |
