Indicator Lamp
The red indicator lamp has two functions:
If only one disc drive is connected (Drive A), the lamp indicates that data is being read
from, or written to the disc.
If two disc drives are connected, the red indicator on Drive B will illuminate
constantly, giving you a quick indication of which unit is Drive B.
When reading or writing to disc takes place however, the indicator reverts to its
primary function of indicating that reading/writing is being performed.
Eject Button
Pressing in the Eject button allows you to remove your disc from the drive.
IMPORTANT
1. ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR DISC FROM THE DRIVE
BEFORE SWITCHING THE SYSTEM ON OR OFF.
2. DO NOT PRESS THE EJECT BUTTON WHILE THE DISC IS
BEING READ FROM OR WRITTEN TO. EJECTING THE
DISC AT THIS TIME WILL RESULT IN READ/WRITE
ERRORS.
3. THE MAGNETIC FLOPPY DISC IS PROTECTED BY ITS
PLASTIC OUTER CASING. NEVER ATTEMPT TO GAIN
ACCESS TO OR TOUCH, THE DISC ITSELF.
