BUSY indicator
As this disk is inserted and the drive becomes
ready for read/write operation, the BUSY
indicator turns green. The orange lamp lights
up when the disk unit is accessing or writing
data. This lamp flashes on and off at about 2-
second intervals when the unit overheats,
regardless of whether or not a disk is being
accessed.

EJECT button
Press this button to eject the disk cartridge
from the disk unit. The EJECT button is
disabled with the function switch or software
settings prohibit ejection. When the write
cache is enabled, it may take a few moments
(up to 45 seconds) for the disk to eject
because data in the cache must first be
written to the disk.
