Diskette Drive: Dell™ Latitude™ L400 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 "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.

NOTES: 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 Softex BayManager under the Microsoft® Windows®
98, Windows NT®, or Windows Me operating system, you can use
BayManager to connect the diskette drive to the computer or to the
L400 Advanced Port Replicator (if the computer is docked) without having
to reboot the computer before you can use the drive. (Windows 2000
supports device swapping, which allows you to remove and replace drives
without shutting down the computer.)
