2.5 RX23/RX26 Diskette Drive
The RX23/RX26 diskette drives allow you to read information from and write
information to 3.5 inch removable diskettes. You can use high-density (HD) or
extra-density (ED) diskettes.
The RX26 diskette drive can read from and write data to HD diskettes that
have been formatted by an RX23 diskette drive. However, the ED diskettes
used by the RX26 diskette drive cannot be used by the RX23 diskette drive.
Appendix B contains information about both types of diskette.
Caution
Never remove a diskette while the diskette drive is performing a
function. When the diskette drive is performing a function, the activity
LED either stays on or flashes, depending on the function.
2.5.1 Inserting a Diskette
To insert a diskette into the RX23/RX26 diskette drive, slide the diskette into
the drive (see Figure 2–11). The diskette slides in and drops down to its load
position.
