Micron Technology MERIDIAN 850 用户手册

Floppy disks are used to:

• transfer information from one computer to another

• install software on your system’s hard drive

• make backup copies of your software and data

When you insert a floppy disk into the system’s floppy disk drive, you can
read the information stored on the disk and write information to the disk.

Your Meridian 850 comes with a 3.5-inch 1.44MB internal floppy drive.
You can use either high-density (1.44MB storage capacity) or double-
sided/double-density (720KB storage capacity) floppy disks in this drive.

You can tell the disks apart by looking at the edge of the disk opposite the
sliding metal panel.

• 1.44MB disks have a write-protected tab on one side and a sensing

hole on the other side

• 720KB disks have only a write-protect tab

To write-protect either kind of disk, slide the plastic write-protect tab
towards the edge, uncovering the hole.

As you push the disk into the drive you will hear a faint click as the disk
slides into place. To release the disk, push the button on the upper right
side of the disk opening.
